Published as: Koh Tao Coral Restoration Project | Technique: substrate addition - artificial reef, coral gardening - transplantation | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Implemented by CRC team on February 2010 off the southern tip of Koh Tao Island, this Coral Conservation Program shows excellent results. Before reef modules installation and coral transplantation, the implementation area was a deserted field of dead corals. More than 4.5 years after its creation and thanks to the local community involvement, this coral reef is the permanent shelter of an amazing marine biodiversity. | Post-restoration monitoring: 54 months | Authors' conclusion: Quantitative outcomes:800 corals transplanted, 24 coral species, 61 fish species | 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.
