Coral reefs are diverse, productive and complex ecosystems, they provide ecosystem services, but due to natural and anthropic actions, their biodiversity and health are diminishing. To mitigate the loss of coral cover, restoration is a feasible rehabilitation tool that can be implemented in the short term. In order to carry out a systematic review of the structures used for coral culture in restoration projects and highlight the available information they provide, descriptions of these projects were gathered in situ in the Oceania, Indian, Atlantic, Caribbean, Central and Eastern Pacific regions, identifying the most outstanding projects. The Caribbean presented the highest number of projects (nine), followed by the Indian Ocean (seven). The types of corals most used for cultivation are branched (96 %) and the most used structure is the coral tree. This information aims to generate a baseline to consider the type of structure suitable under the conditions of our country.
