Completed (successful/maintained)Monitoring: ended

Published as: Manta Reef Restoration Project | Technique: Coral gardening - transplantation, substrate addition - artificial reefs, Substrate Enhancement - Electric | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Install metal structures into the shape of a Manta Ray. The structuresuse mineral accretion and are placed on sandy sea bed and corals of opportunity of transplanted onto the structures | Post-restoration monitoring: 24 months | Authors' conclusion: In summary, the conclusion at the end of one year is: Study site 2013 / 2014: Increased in number of species 195.5% Increased number of families 133.3% Increased in the average number of individuals per 100m² of 1501.1% In 2014 there was a relationship between the control site and the study site of: 238.9% by number of species 153.8% by number of families 2483.6% in average number of individuals per 100m² Transplanted corals : 1400 Number of species: 26 | Lessons reported: Our artificial reefs are designed primarily for the purpose of providing habitat for marine wildlife, making it possible to re-grow faster ecosystem and a solid substrate for corals to grow in the best conditions possible. We use various restoration techniques and different substrates to be the most suitable possible to the area identified. It creates, protects and regenerate the local ecosystem,… | 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.

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.
