Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase — Male

OPP-0DDQTTpermanent identifier · cite as oceanportfolio.org/p/OPP-0DDQTT

Published as: Transforming and degraded reef: The Aquabar Snorkel Trail | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: These corals and other invertebrates were collected from non-reefal habitats, areas undergoing sand extraction, reef flat communities that were exposed at low tide and 2 lagoonal patch reefs. Dead coral rubble was collected and coalesced into a base for the trail. | Post-restoration monitoring: 1 months | Authors' conclusion: The new snorkel trail was created solely using corals that were rescued and would otherwise die. Many of the corals were infested with coral predators, and these were removed, saving the corals from inevitable death. In addition to the snorkel trail, we created the largest rope nursery in the Maldives which contains more coral fragments than any other nurseries we have established around Dhigu to date. | 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.
