METHODOLOGY
Obtaining Acropora loripes and transportation of the coral transplant to the transplantation site
The site was chosen purposely to be adjacent to the donor site to lessen transporting duration and to minimize the stress of the fragments taken from the donor coral.
All of the coral fragments that were used in the study were corals that were shattered by the typhoon Sendong. This method of collecting coral fragments is less harmful to the coral environment than cutting a coral branch from a coral donor. The collected fragments of corals were placed in a net bag and were then transported to the shore while being rinsed in water.
