Background. Coral reefs are one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems, in addition to providing highly valuable geo-ecological functions. However, they are affected by various environmental stressors, as well as those of anthropogenic origin. In response to the above, active restoration measures have been implemented, as in the case of the coral community of the Islas Marietas National Park (PNIM). Goals. This work aims to evaluate the effect of coral restoration on physical functionality (FF) by using the reef functional index (IFA), in PNIM reefs in the years 2014 and 2021. Methods. The IFA was used as a FF metric, since it is a more comple-te way of evaluating it. The IFA considers three ecological attributes: coral cover (CC), calcif...
