Published as: Coral degradation and ability of rehabilitation of coral reefs in Co To Archipelago, Quang Ninh province, Vietnam. | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: Destructive fishing | Genera: n/a | Method: Fragments from donor colonies ('coral seed'?) out planted onto ReefBalls and existing hard substrate (dead coral) | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 88.3% | Post-restoration monitoring: 24 months | Authors' conclusion: High survival of fragments on reef balls, but low survival on hard substrate. | Lessons reported: The authors conclude that the method of attachment on stakes was insufficient to stop fragments from becoming dislodged. New fragments attracted Drupella, which caused increased mortality. | 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.
