Resif koray yo se dig ki efikas natirèl ki gaye enèji vag ak ewozyon ki vin apre sou kòt la. Dènye etid yo te jwenn ke resif koray diminye enèji vag pa 97% ak wotè vag pa 84% an mwayèn. Krèt Reef yo sanble zòn ki pi efikas nan resif la pou diminye enèji vag. Latwoublay imen ak chanjman nan klima ki degrade resif koray yo te redwi rugosite yo ak konpleksite, sa ki lakòz yon plat jeneral nan anpil resif koray. Kidonk, koray restorasyon lè l sèvi avèk ajoute substra ka yon sèl estrateji efikas pou ranfòse estrikti Reef ak diminye danje lanmè risk a popilasyon imen.

Coral reefs are effective natural breakwaters that dissipate wave energy and subsequent erosion on the coast. Recent studies have found that coral reefs reduce wave energy by 97% and wave height by 84% on average. Reef crests appear to be the most effective area of the reef for reducing wave energy. Human disturbances and climate change that degrade coral reefs have reduced their rugosity and complexity, causing a general flattening of many coral reefs. Thus, coral restoration using added substrate may be one effective strategy for boosting reef structure and reducing coastal hazard risk to human populations.
