Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: Australia

Goal

Technique: transplanting seagrass (seedlings, sprigs, shoots, or rhizomes) Transplantation of ‘sprigs’ (lengths of branched rhizome with leaf-bearing shoots) that have been harvested from healthy ‘donor’ beds into bare sand. Planting was carried out by hand without the need for snorkelling or scubadiving skills, allowing for broad participation of volunteers. A total of 205 sprigs were planted in an area of 160 m2, spaced approximately 1 m apart. Spatial extent 162 ha as reported. Reported project duration 1,0 year(s). Average survival 87,0% 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.
