Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: aquaculture and transplanting (seagrass seeds, seedlings or rhizomes) In vitro propagated seagrass plants were first transferred to peat pots and grown in a flowing seawater system for six weeks. These transplants showed 20 to 80% survival. Ruppia maritima was still growing in experimental plots after 11 months at three of the four sites. Spatial extent 16 ha as reported. Reported project duration 0,9 year(s). Average survival 40,0% as reported.

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.
