Published as: Fixed and suspended coral nurseries in the Philippines: Establishing the first step in the “gardening concept” of reef restoration | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Disturbance addressed: Destructive fishing | Genera: Merulina, Echinopora, Montipora, Pocillopora, Porites, Acropora, Montipora | Method: Leg fixed coral nurseries above substrate, populated with coral fragments collected from nearby reef. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 88.2% | Post-restoration monitoring: 12 months | Authors' conclusion: No difference between fixed/suspended trays, mortality and growth species specific | Lessons reported: super glue not strong enough to hold non-branching species to mesh | 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.
