Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: transplanting seagrass (seedlings, sprigs, shoots, or rhizomes) Development of areal coverage of seagrass was investigated as a metric for assessing the outcome of a restoration effort conducted over 7 years, thereby expanding the timescale over which a subtropical seagrass restoration project was evaluated for success. 15 plots in total were established in June 2002 containing 12 plots with planted seagrass and 3 plots used as "unplanted" controls. 500 planting units of seagrass Spatial extent 10000 ha as reported. Reported project duration 7,0 year(s).

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.
