Published as: Aleenta Phuket Coral Barrier Reef Project | Technique: substrate addition - artificial reef, coral gardening - transplantation | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Construction of box shaped metal cages filled with reef rubble to act as a sort of breakwater/barrier. Transplant corals onto metal frames. Modules cable tied together to create a larger structure. | Authors' conclusion: Quantitative outcomes: 1000 corals transplanted, 11 coral species, 39 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.

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.
