Published as: Survival and growth of Acropora spp. in mid-water nursery and after transplantation at Phi Phi Islands, Andaman Sea, Thailand. | Technique: Coral Gardening | Disturbance addressed: Tsunami | Genera: Acropora | Method: Corals reared for 4 months in mid water nursery, consisting of trays suspended at 6 m depth with floats and anchors. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 81.15% | Post-restoration monitoring: 12 months | Authors' conclusion: Fragments of A. muricata and A. grandis had high survivorship both in nursery (95%) and after transplantation (81%), and the authors recommend the coral species as suitable for nursery and transplantation in the Andaman Sea. | Lessons reported: Relatively few transplanted corals grew tissue/skeleton over the metal bar. No description of metal bar type etc in paper | 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.
