Restoration efforts are urgently needed for the conservation of coral reefs. Among emerging tools, the use of probiotics has
shown promise in laboratory settings for improving coral resilience, but their validation under real-world reef conditions remains
limited. Here, we present the Coral Probiotics Village (CPV) as a novel and fully operational underwater research laboratory
and a testing ground designed to support the in situ testing of microbial-based coral restoration interventions. This manuscript
describes the design, establishment, and scientific validation of the CPV, including continuous environmental monitoring, a
summary of previously developed pilot trials of probiotic applications, and an integration of sensor networks, AI-assisted reef
monitoring, and autonomous technologies. We propose the CPV as a scalable model for integrated coral restoration science and
suggest its replication as a tool to accelerate applied reef conservation efforts globally.
