Published as: Coral transplantation in sheltered habitats using unattached fragments and cultured colonies. | Technique: Coral Gardening | Genera: Acropora | Method: Different size classes of fragments were collected and attached to monofilament line, draped over rubble. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 87.5556% | Post-restoration monitoring: 3 months | Authors' conclusion: Larger and medium fragments of A cervicornis had significantly higher survival than smaller size classes. There was no effect of size in A. prolifera. | 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.
