Published as: How to Restore a Damaged Reef | Technique: Coral Gardening - Transplantation Phase | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Following ship grounding, debris was vacuumed up, corals of opportunity collected from nearby reef. These had been dislodged due to large swell event, Target transplant locations were 1) pressure cleaned to clear away loose debris 2) coral bases cleaned to ensure smooth connection 3) attached to cement bases | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 89% | Post-restoration monitoring: 7 months | Authors' conclusion: 600 different coral species, diff sizes. After 1 year, 89% survival, fish communities reappearing/repopulating site, newly settled corals | This record was compiled from a published source and has not been confirmed by the organisation that carried out the work. No contribution to the condition index is recorded: the source reports survival of transplanted material, which is not a measure of ecosystem condition.

Recorded result

No result recorded yet. A result is recorded when the project moves to Paused, Completed or Discontinued.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
