Data Management in Large Area Restoration

Case Study

Creating actionable insights from restoration data

Data management today is driven by multiple users struggling to update disparate, ad-hoc spreadsheets. Duplication of effort is maximized while consistency and accessibilityare minimized.

A central database can streamline both workflows and radically improve access to data

Understanding Genetics to Power Efficient restoration

Digital systems can streamline this processby providing tools for tracking collection as well as propagation. Seamless integration with data on where specific individuals have been outplanted, in which nurseries they are currently being held, and any empiricaland experimental data makes restorationefforts more precise and effective.

Maintaining provenance and genetic information in coral restoration is essential for understanding genetic diversity, abundance, and survivability. These insights help ensure cultivated corals are well-adapted to local conditions.

Implementing Resilience Inventory Software in Restoration Projects

Monitoring each coral's readiness for outplanting based on growth and health also ensures that only the most viable corals are reintroduced into the wild. Digital systems streamline this process for both in-situ and ex-situ propagation by providing a way to both collect and view detailed records in realtime. Using current, historical, and projected datasets enables practitioners to make informed decisions and improve restoration outcomes.

Accurately tracking the number of coral replicates by species or genotype in nurseries is crucial for planning restoration and serves as the basis for downstream data collection.
