Published as: Accounting for life-history strategies and timescales in marine restoration | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: Illegal coral harvesting | Genera: Corallium | Method: Transplanted 300 illegally harvested corals onto rocky reef and monitored demographic traits | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 99.1% | Post-restoration monitoring: 48 months | Authors' conclusion: The transplantation experiment was highly successful over a relatively short term due to high survival and reproductive potential of the transplanted colonies. | Lessons reported: Demographic projections predict that from 30 to 40 years may be required for fully functional C. rubrum populations to develop. | 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.
