Coral Transplantation and Monitoring Planning at Mokotamba Dive Point Pulisan as Conservation Effortts and Tourism Sustainability

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to specify the growth rate and survival rate of coral fracture Fragments transplanted into plant media in the Mokotamba Pulisan area, North Sulawesi. The determination of planting media placement is based on field observation. The method used was the skeletal method that glues naturally fractured coral Fragments to metal pieces to the sondo shape with each Fragment transplanted to the direction of the sun rays. The results of the initial research were carried out by measuring the initial length of coral Fragments in each unit of planting media and then it was measured periodically every four months so that the growth rate and survival rate of transplanted coral Fragments obtained. Monitoring was carried out on each coral transplanted on the four growing media.
