Published as: Experimental Assessment of Coral Reef Rehabilitation Following Blast Fishing. | Technique: Substrate Stabilisation | Disturbance addressed: Destructive fishing | Genera: n/a | Method: Mid-scale experiment, building on pilot study of stabilisation techniques on reefs damaged by dynamite fishing. Rubble piles were piled higher (70-90cm) than in pilot to prevent burial in high currents. | Post-restoration monitoring: 36 months | Authors' conclusion: Coral counts and cover increased substantially on rock piles compared to control sites. Some high current sites low or decreasing coral cover over time, | Lessons reported: Rock piles in areas of high water movement get covered in rubble | 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.
