Published as: Restoring the underwater habitat at SEA Restaurant: Phase 1 | Technique: Coral Gardening | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Tubastrea, Heliopora, Sinularia, Clathria, Sarcophyton, Lobophytum, Dendronephthya, Stichopathes, Amplexidiscus, Acropora, Alveopora, Astreopora, Cyphastrea, Diploastrea, Euphyllia, Favia, Favites, F… | Method: Transplanting remaining living coral around the underwater restaurant onto pre prepared frames and cement bases. Included corals, anemones and other inverts | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 98% | Post-restoration monitoring: 12 months | Authors' conclusion: Restoration of the platform surrounding SEA helped restore the three dimensional structure of the habitat providing refuge and feeding areas for coral reef fishes. | 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.
