As one of the toughest environmental problems Earth is facing, climate change brings many negative impacts, such as rising sea levels, increasing number of natural disasters, adverse changes in the marine environment, and biodiversity loss. The rising sea-level and marine environment changes pose a massive threat to islands and coral reefs in the South China Sea. This paper reviews the evaluation of coral reefs’ restoration in the South China Sea. The result shows that these methods are practical, and they will benefit the restoration and expansion of coral reefs globally.
