“…We believe more extensive work should be conducted to fully characterize the impact various coral gardening methods may have on coral growth and survival. In the future, our 3D-printed solutions, such as mounting structures, could be 3D-printed with biotechnology from different living materials [52][53][54] that could be infused with beneficial nutrients [55] to protect corals at fragment sites [56] and boost their resilience [57]. Mounting structures could be 3D-printed from gels or biodegradable materials that could dissolve over time, leaving the natural attachment of corals to either biomimetic substrates (Figure 6) or the reef itself.…”

Coral nurseries and associated techniques are the most common and widespread reef restoration methods worldwide. Due to the rapid decline of coral reefs, coral nurseries need to be eco-friendlier and adapted for effective upscaling to support large restoration projects. We suggest new design and fabrication processes associated with coral gardening and transplantation with 3D printing technology to offer a beneficial solution for growing coral fragments in on-land and underwater nurseries. We describe multiple combinations of building nurseries through the integration of biomimetic substrates and novel solutions for attaching coral fragments. Our methods are supported with supplemental testing of two hybrid substrate designs and coral mounting structures, building upon previous studies in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba (GoE/A), Red Sea. We identified and quantified marine invertebrates colonizing the surfaces of our substrates with environmental DNA (eDNA) by targeting the mitochondrial COI gene. We evaluated our coral fragments with and without our mounting structures to obtain an indication of total protein as a proxy for tissue health. We demonstrate the ability to design hybrid nurseries with custom mounting structures using biomimetic substrates, such as large ceramic artificial reefs, or with an interlocking mesh for holding numerous fragments to maximize out-planting efforts. We propose several methods for both land and underwater nurseries catered to various restoration initiatives for cost-effective up-scaling to meet the demands of global reef restoration.

“…Potensi sumber daya laut yang begitu besar tidak hanya dapat berdampak pada kesejahteraan masyarakat, bangsa dan negara tetapi juga menyisakan persoalan lingkungan yang mengancam kehidupan ekosistem laut sebagai aset ekonomi biru. Isu degradasi ekositem bumi menimbulkan persoalan penurunan daya saing alam dan kelestarian alam (Hughes et al, 2023;Roger et al, 2023;Syah et al, 2020). Dalam forum webinar pada tanggal 23 Juli 2023, diungkapkan bahwa mayoritas kaum miskin tinggal di perdesaan.…”

“…Sementara itu, Prasetyo, (2020) mengungkapkan blue accounting memfokuskan pada pertanggungjawaban masalah pelestarian keanekaragaman sumber daya hayati laut yang terhubung dengan aspek ekonomi Ramadhan et al, (2016) mengungkapkan bahwa sistem yang terdapat pada terumbu karang selain berperan sebagai fungsi ekologi dan ekonomi bagi kepada manusia juga menghasilkan interaksi antar manusia yang membentuk nilai budaya di dalam memanfaatkan ekosistem tersebut. Pengelolaan terumbu karang memberikan arti penting dalam menyediakan beranekaragam sumber daya hayati di laut selain memiliki nilai ekonomi ini dapat mengalami degradasi jika tidak dikelola dengan baik (Roger et al, 2023;Harris et al, 2023;Darling et al, 2017). Norris et al, (2023) mengungkapkan bahwa terumbu karang adalah penghalang alami yang sangat berperan dalam memberikan perlindungan bagi masyarakat pesisir dari ancaman bahaya erosi.…”

Purpose: -This study aims to explore the practice and meaning of blue accounting in special interest tourism businesses in Tomini Bay. Design/methodology/approach -This research is a qualitative study using ethnomethodology as its method. Data were collected through observation, interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). The stages of data analysis follow ethnomethodological rules, including data reduction, data presentation, indexicality, reflexivity and conclusion drawing. Findings -The results showed that blue accounting implemented by the tourism awareness group is an effort of environmental sustainability. The application of accounting is carried out in the form of simple financial records, accountability to God, humans and nature. The meaning of blue accounting practice leads to the fulfillment of business information for internal and external parties. Blue accounting implies that accounting is practiced according to needs, coastal environmental protection, economic, ecological, social and cultural sustainability. The cultural value of togetherness (huyula) is the main determining factor in the implementation of blue accounting. Originality/value -the existence of cultural values is able to influence the practice of blue accounting, so that it plays a maximum role in maintaining the financial, ecological and social stability of a community organization. Research limitations/implications -provides confidence that blue accounting practices are built on the basis of cultural and spiritual values inherent in the soul of the community, in addition to economic, social and environmental values. Belief in cultural and spiritual values can be a strength for the coastal tourism sector to further improve the capacity to manage its business through the application of blue accounting.

“…Current assays, nevertheless, are mostly performed at the population level, measuring values averaged across all algal cells, thereby overlooking the potential stress-resistant individual cells within the samples. 27,28 When assessing the physiological status of Symbiodinium cells, they are often categorized simply as healthy or bleaching, 27,29 ignoring the evolution of physiological states of individual cells in response to environmental stresses. Investigating the physiological state changes of Symbiodinium cells serves as the foundation for screening stress-resistant cells and directing evolution, 30 particularly intraspecific responses to bleaching cells.…”
