Published as: Reef rescuers program | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: acropora, pocillopora | Method: Mid water rope and net nurseries. Weighted at the bottom and floats to keep buoyant. | Authors' conclusion: Coral Gardening concept was selected from among other coral regeneration methods for its simplicity, cost effectiveness and low-impact on donor sites more than 13,000 nursery-grown colonies have been transplanted using two different techniques. The long-term “success” of this mass transplantation is yet to be monitored but the project has already had a very positive knowledge-building impact | 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.

Recorded result

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.
