NCRI Special Session

[Precht,Bill]

Special
>>Session Title: IMPROVING DECISION MAKING IN CORAL REEF
>>RESTORATION; Chair: Bill Precht
>>To date most coral reef restoration programs have been performed without a
>>scientific basis for what works, what does not, and why? This
>>special session will be designed to understand the scientific
>>rationale behind the enterprise of reef restoration.  This
>>session should be invaluable towards improving the decision
>>making process in reef restoration.  It will be helpful to use
>>some lessons learned from coastal and wetland restoration
>>programs.  To this end, leaders in these representative fields
>>will be invited to participate and share the "how  to and how
>>not to" with us "neophytes" in the field of coral reef
>>restoration. Papers on aspects of goal setting, success
>>criteria, adaptive management, and restoration case histories
>>are appropriate for this session.  Papers on the science of
>>restoration ecology are especially solicited.
