Published as: Strategies for Gardening Denuded Coral Reef Areas: The Applicability of Using Different Types of Coral Material for Reef Restoration. | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Genera: Stylophora | Method: Planula larvae of S. pistillata were collected and reared in a laboratory for 3 months, then placed in underwater nurseries | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 5% | Post-restoration monitoring: 1 months | Authors' conclusion: 41% of spats survived the nursery phase (3 month), while 5 % survived 1 month after transplanting | Lessons reported: Low survival but high growth of survivors. Relies on using a species which reproduces several months of the year ( ie not a broadcasting species). Expensive because it requires ex situ maintenance of larvae. | 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.
