Transplantation — Sentosa

Completed (successful/maintained)Published as: Transplanting a coral reef: A Singapore community project | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: Land reclamation | Genera: n/a | Method: Description of relocation of corals in an area to be damaged by land reclamation, involving volunteers. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 69% | Post-restoration monitoring: 6 months | Authors' conclusion: Colonies only survived if they were firmly wedged in crevices. One site was downstream of the construction site, and despite general survival of sediment-tolerant corals, sedimentation prevented further settlement. | Lessons reported: Successful involvement of volunteers | 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.
Goal
Mitigate anticipated coral loss prior to a known disturbance

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.
