Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: Australia

Goal

Technique: transplanting seagrass (seedlings, sprigs, shoots, or rhizomes) Healthy seagrass rhizomes were transplanted to four impact sites and one control site. Survival rates of transplanted shoots were monitored in situ bi-monthly for 16 months. Here: 115 shoots were transplanted to a control site that was not affected by seagrass loss in Port Hacking. Spatial extent 1 ha as reported. Reported project duration 1,3 year(s). Average survival 32,2% as reported.

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.
