Published as: in: Johnson et al 2011, Caribbean Acropora restoration guide: best practices for propagation and population enhancement CASE STUDY 6 | Technique: Coral Gardening | Genera: Acropora | Method: Line nurseries | Authors' conclusion: More than 200 corals out planted to three sites | Lessons reported: Monofilament line holds less fouling organisms than substrates with a larger surface area (e.g. concrete block, rope or rebar. Choose a site with a high abundance of fish to help with cleaning of fouling organisms. Monitor frequently to remove fouling organisms and perform repair. | 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.
