As a result of increased reef degradation, restoration efforts are now being widely applied on coral reefs. However, outplanted coral survival in restoration zones varies substantially, and coral mortality can be a significant limitation to the success of restoration efforts. With reef restoration now occurring within, and adjacent to, nationally preserved and managed marine parks, the potential risks of mortality events and disease spread to adjacent marine populations need to be considered, particularly as these ecosystems continue to decline. We review the causes and consequences of coral mortality and disease outbreaks within the context of coral restoration, highlighting knowledge gaps in our understanding of the restored coral microbiome and discussing management practices for assessing coral disease. We identify the need for research efforts into monitoring and diagnostics of disease within coral restoration, as well as practices to mitigate and manage coral disease risks in restoration.

由于珊瑚礁退化的加剧，恢复工作现已广泛应用于珊瑚礁。但是，外植珊瑚在恢复区内的生存情况差异很大，珊瑚死亡率可能是恢复工作成功的重大限制。由于目前在国家保护和管理的海洋公园内及其附近进行礁石恢复，因此必须考虑到死亡事件和疾病扩散到邻近海洋种群的潜在风险，尤其是在这些生态系统持续下降的情况下。我们在珊瑚恢复的背景下回顾了珊瑚死亡和疾病暴发的原因和后果，突出了我们对恢复的珊瑚微生物组了解的知识差距，并讨论了评估珊瑚病的管理方法。
