Overview
This project aimed to quantify the effectiveness of using mass larval ‘reseeding’ to initiate restoration of damaged coral communities on reefs in the northern Philippines.
Project outcomes
- Determined peak coral spawning periods, capture coral spawn and rear millions of coral larvae.
- Reseeded damaged reef areas via mass larval settlement; and quantified larval settlement and recruitment.
- Quantified juvenile coral growth and survival to assess the effectiveness of mass larval reseeding.
- Developed guidelines and technical reports and peer-reviewed publications.
