Transplantation — Bolinao

Published as: Can Coral Cover be Restored in the Absence of Natural Recruitment and Reef Recovery? | Technique: Transplantation | Genera: Porites | Method: Testing whether P. cylindrica will survive in heavily degraded area where it is locally extinct. Survival growth compared between sites/ attachment orientation/attachment densities. Fragments attached in depressions created on bommies in sandy area. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 90.25% | Post-restoration monitoring: 20 months | Authors' conclusion: High survival and growth of translocated colonies at both locations (sedimentation rates and depths differed) | Lessons reported: Fragments survive and grow better when transplanted to locations that are similar to their original habitats. | 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.
