Goal

Technique: transplanting eelgrass (shoots and seeds) remotely with frame systems Test transplants were accomplished by first harvesting eelgrass shoots from donor sites in Revere and Nahant. Wire mesh “cages” called TERFs™ (24” square) were used to plant shoots. Twenty-five pairs of shoots were tied to each TERF™, and four TERFs™ were deployed in a square pattern at each of the twelve sites. In 2005, a total of about 21,000 shoots were planted with the help of volunteers from around the community Spatial extent 20639 ha as reported. Reported project duration 3,5 year(s).

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.
