Coral reefs, vital ecosystems supporting marine biodiversity, face unprecedented threats from anthropogenic climate change. The resulting reef degradation necessitates urgent restoration research. While conventional methods have focused on fragmentation, the potential of coral micropropagates for restoration remains unexplored. Polyp bailout, where polyps detach in response to acute stress, offers a promising source of micropropagates. This study pursues two objectives: 1) developing a hypersalinity-induced bailout protocol and 2) assessing micropropagate attachment to common restoration substrates. Specifically, this study tests the viability of micropropagates following hypersalinity stress using chlorophyll a fluorimetry and morphologica...
