Resilience underpins the sustainability of both ecological and social systems. Extensive loss of reef corals following recent mass bleaching events have challenged the notion that support of system resilience is a viable reef management strategy. While resilience-based management (RBM) cannot prevent the damaging effects of major disturbances, such as mass bleaching events, it can support natural processes that promote resistance and recovery. Here, we review the potential of RBM to help sustain coral reefs in the 21st century. We explore the scope for supporting resilience through existing management approaches and emerging technologies and discuss their opportunities and limitations in a changing climate. We argue that for RBM to be effective in a changing world, reef management strategies need to involve both existing and new interventions that together reduce stress, support the fitness of populations and species, and help people and economies to adapt to a highly altered ecosystem.
弹性是生态和社会系统可持续性的基础。最近大规模白化事件导致珊瑚礁大量消失，这对支持系统弹性是可行的珊瑚礁管理策略的观点提出了挑战。虽然基于弹性的管理（RBM）不能防止大规模白化等重大干扰的破坏性影响，但它可以支持促进抵抗和恢复的自然过程。在这里，我们回顾了 RBM 在 21 世纪帮助维持珊瑚礁的潜力。我们探讨了通过现有管理方法和新兴技术支持弹性的范围，并讨论了它们在不断变化的气候下的机遇和局限性。我们认为，为了使 RBM 在不断变化的世界中发挥作用，珊瑚礁管理策略需要同时涉及现有和新的干预措施，这些措施共同减少压力，支持种群和物种的适应性，并帮助人和经济适应高度改变的生态系统。
