Published as: Restoration of coral reefs in Pacific Costa Rica | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: General degradation | Genera: Pocillopora | Method: Coral fragments collected from damaged reef and transplanted into the reserve in two locations; 58 in one and 52 in the other. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 81% | Post-restoration monitoring: 36 months | Authors' conclusion: After three years, survivorship was 79%-83%. Furthermore, subsequent fragmentation caused a 41%-115% increase in new colonies. | 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.
