Abstract in brief

Coral recruitment on reefs is naturally low, which hampers population growth and restoration efforts.
The study tested two technologies, specialized settlement modules and the Underwater Zooplankton Enhancement Light Array (UZELA), to improve early coral success.
Results showed that using complex settlement modules increased coral survival and growth, and combining them with UZELA significantly boosted these outcomes, suggesting a promising method to speed up coral reef restoration.]
