Abstract

[Extract] This document outlines the results of a rapid baseline habitat assessment completed in June 2021 of a subsection of Welcome Bay under consideration for coral outplanting and the trialing of new outplanting methods by Reef Restoration Foundation (RRF). The objective of this survey was to produce a baseline assessment benthic habitat composition to inform planning for outplanting of both fragments directly onto consolidated reef structure as well as to trial new outplanting techniques developed by RRF in suitable areas of open substrate. Data was collected in June 2021 by the TropWATER research team in collaboration with Reef Restoration staff.
