Abstract
Coral reefs are one of the main ecosystems in coastal areas that are very stretched with damage, so it requires efforts to preserve them through rehabilitation activities. This study aims to determine the growth rate and survival of transplanted corals from 2021 - 2023 on Samalona Island, Makassar City. This study uses a survey method approach by making direct observations and measurements of transplanted corals on spider frames by utilizing previous data (2021) and comparing current measurement data (2023). The type of transplanted coral studied was Acropora branching at a depth of 3-4 meters. The results showed that the growth rate of transplanted corals was 9.22 cm with an average per month of 0.38 cm. Its survival was 58.15% with the number of surviving coral fragments as many as 314 and dead as many as 226.
