Published as: Pyramid Reefs and Coral Nurseries | Technique: Coral gardening - transplantation, substrate addition - artificial reefs | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Deployed large cement structures, coral nurseries grow mixed species of coral. These are then transplanted onto the artificial reef | Authors' conclusion: Off the Thailand coast, underwater pyramids of concrete blocks are forming the beginnings of an amazing artificial reef … and nearby in the shallows is a nursery for fledgling corals. This reef-in-the-making is already attracting plenty of marine life | 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.
