A Comment article in Nature Climate Change argues that coral reefs are best saved by enabling natural recovery, rather than through “heroic interference” that involves manually outplanting coral fragments (R. P. Streit et al. Nature Clim. Change 14, 773–775; 2024). Meanwhile, in this journal, Lisa Carne argues that, in her coral patch in Belize, outplanted corals grow well, so maybe manual restoration is worth the effort (L. Carne Nature 634, 755; 2024).
