Abstrakt: A critical component of ecosystem restoration projects involves using genetic data to select source material that will enhance success under current and future climates. However, the complexity and expense of applying genetic data is a barrier to its use outside of specialised scientific contexts. To help overcome this barrier, we developed Reef Adapt ( www.reefadapt.org ), an innovative, globally applicable and expandable web platform that incorporates genetic, biophysical and environmental prediction data into marine restoration and assisted gene flow planning. The Reef Adapt tool provides maps that identify areas with populations suited to user-specified restoration/recipient sites under current and future climate scenarios. We demonstrate its versatility and practicality with four case studies of ecologically and evolutionarily diverse taxa: the habitat-forming corals Pocillopora damicornis and Acropora kenti, and macroalgae Phyllospora comosa and Ecklonia radiata. Reef Adapt is a management-ready tool to aid restoration and conservation efforts amidst ongoing habitat degradation and climate change.
