Substrate Addition - Artificial reef — Sabah

OPP-JW5TM9permanent identifier · cite as oceanportfolio.org/p/OPP-JW5TM9

Published as: Building Reefs | Technique: Substrate Addition - Artificial reef | Disturbance addressed: yes | Genera: Mixed | Method: Bottles are planted in a concrete base and lowered onto the seabed. They are secured to stop them moving away. Our coral growing project gives us a supply of new coral on small concrete tiles, called biscuits. These are wedged between the bottles. These corals slowly spread across the bottles and incorporate the bottles into the coral skeleton. The bottles slowly disappear and become the invisible reef skeleton. | 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.
