Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: The Netherlands

Goal

Technique: transplanting seagrass (seedlings, sprigs, shoots, or rhizomes) Planting units consisting of 37 (or 61) seedlings transplanted in a hexagon bed were planted in pairs. The mutual distance between two neighboring shoots was constant (in six directions). Shoot density was set at a mutual distance of 30cm (high density = 14 seedlings m-2) or 50cm (low density = 5 seedlings m-2). More than 4700 seedlings were transplanted in the course of the project. Spatial extent 50000 ha as reported. Reported project duration 4,0 year(s). Average survival 32,0% 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.
