OPP-9KBAHTpermanent identifier · cite as oceanportfolio.org/p/OPP-9KBAHT

Published as: Threatened coral recovery and restoration in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands | Technique: Coral Gardening | Disturbance addressed: General degradation | Genera: Acropora | Method: Short‐term goals included growing at least 12,000 colonies in nursery and outplanting at least 5,000 of those nursery‐grown colonies to 34 degraded reef sites. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 95% | Post-restoration monitoring: 3 months | Authors' conclusion: Successful nursery and outplanting program | Lessons reported: It is imperative to spread risk as much as possible at every scale. | 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.
