Published as: Coral recruitment and community development: the Broward County artificial reef compared to adjacent hard bottom areas, five years post-deployment | Technique: Substrate Addition - Artificial reef | Disturbance addressed: not reported | Genera: UNCLEAR TYPOGRAPHY | Method: Recruitment and subsequent development of coral communities on an artificial reef are compared to adjacent natural hardbottom in Broward County, Florida, USA. Abundance, diversity and size class distribution were monitored over time. | Post-restoration monitoring: 60 months | Authors' conclusion: Scleractinian and octocoral abundance, diversity and average size on the artificial reef was nearly equal to those on the natural nearshore hardbottom five years post-deployment. | 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.
