Marine bacterial microbiomes comprise an invisible biological infrastructure supporting ecosystem resilience. As climate stressors drive coral reef dysbiosis, microbial-based interventions, including probiotics, bioengineering, and holobiont priming, offer emerging strategies to restore holobiont function and enhance resilience. We explore state-of-the-art tools and outline challenges and policy-aligned pathways for translation.
