This comprehensive synthesis of global scientific evidence examines the effectiveness of conservation and restoration actions targeting stony, soft and cold-water coral species inhabiting a diverse range of marine habitats in tropical, temperate and arctic waters from shallow coasts to the deep sea. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddressing the urgent threats posed by climate change, pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction, this work summarises evidence from actions in three core themes: protecting healthy reefs, mitigating human impacts, and undertaking active restoration. From establishing Marine Protected Areas to innovative techniques like coral gardening, the synopsis summarises the evidence for practical actions and offers insights into their outcomes and applicability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to guide decision-makers-resource managers, conservationists, policymakers, and local advocates-as well as those curious to learn about actions that could help corals, this accessible guide provides succinct information to support evidence-based conservation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy identifying the existing evidence and highlighting gaps in the knowledge, Coral Conservation can support practitioners and policymakers to allocate resources effectively by prioritising actions that work.
