Coral gardening - transplantation, Substrate Enhancement - Electric — Nasugbu

OPP-CRZJS2permanent identifier · cite as oceanportfolio.org/p/OPP-CRZJS2

Discontinued (unsuccessful)Monitoring: ended

Published as: The Lifeboat Project | Technique: Coral gardening - transplantation, Substrate Enhancement - Electric | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Metal artificial reef structures as coral nurseries. Some of them were attached to solar powered electricity units as part of mineral accretion project. | Lessons reported: small nursery environments, with power, will work even in poor water quality. They had biorock nurseries in the ‘marina’ that did well. Corals moved from poor water quality to better water quality offshore did well. [Theory would suggest this makes sense. The opposite may not be true]. | 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.

Goal

Accelerate reef recovery post-disturbance

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.
