Published as: Rehabilitation of Damaged Reefs: Outcome of the Use of Recently Broken Coral Fragments and Healed Coral Fragments of Pocilloporid Corals on Rocky Boulders. | Technique: Transplantation | Genera: Pocillopora | Method: Direct transplantation of corals of opportunity onto boulders | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 65.595% | Post-restoration monitoring: 12 months | Authors' conclusion: High survival, growth and attachment of corals, in challenging environmental conditions (high sedimentation and algae cover). Recently broken fragments attached and grew faster much faster than fragments which had already healed. | 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.
