Published as: The feasibility of transplanting black coral (Order Antipatharia) | Technique: Transplantation | Genera: Antipathes | Method: Forty black coral fragments were transplanted in five locations across Hawaii, and growth and survival measured | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 45% | Post-restoration monitoring: 24 months | Authors' conclusion: The mean height of all surviving fragments was 5.1 cm approximately 24 months after the initial survey. The mortality observed in this study was in the form of missing fragments. | Lessons reported: The microhabitat chosen for transplantation is critical. Further experiments are recommended to test for a minimum size required to transplant while minimizing the impact on the donor colonies. | 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.
