Published as: Experimental Assessment of Coral Reef Rehabilitation Following Blast Fishing | Technique: Substrate Stabilisation | Disturbance addressed: Destructive fishing | Genera: n/a | Method: Small scale pilot experiment (1m2) of three rubble stabilisation techniques: 1)fishing net attached to rubble, 2) cement slabs pinned to rubble, 3) piles of rocks attached to rubble. Sites were not recruitment limited based on previous surveys. | Post-restoration monitoring: 36 months | Authors' conclusion: Rock piles had the highest recruitment and cover of hard corals after three years, followed by cement and netting, compared to control sites (no treatment). However, many sites (including rubble piles) were degraded over time, by water movement. | Lessons reported: Rock piles need to be stabilised to ensure longevity | 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.
