Goal
Technique: transplanting seagrass (seedlings, sprigs, shoots, or rhizomes) Seagrass fragments were collected from the beach and stored for 3 years in tanks to study their regeneration capacity. After 3 years, fragments were transplanted between rubbles of a submersed artificial reef. Half of the fragments regenerated and survived as long as 3 years in tanks. One year after transplanting, 50% of the fragments on the artificial reef were still present and ca. half of them produced new shoots. No spatial extent reported. Reported project duration 4,0 year(s). Average survival 44,4% as reported.
