Published as: Coral Nursery | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Acropora | Method: The coral nurseries are rows of “trees” (PVC trunks with fiberglass rods running through the trunk) that are tethered to the bottom with sand anchors and buoyed with floats that sit just below the surface. | Post-restoration monitoring: 9 months | Lessons reported: The Coral Tree nursery, has proved to be an efficient and effective way to grow second and third generations of corals, through fragmentation. In this way, the Coral Tree nurseries become a self-sustaining to grow corals. | 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.
