Restoration Workspace

The restoration workspace supports facility operations that are not handled by standard survey-only flows.

Use the restoration workspace when you need traceability for:

• Structures (tables, ropes, frames, nurseries)
• Fragments / colonies (IDs, genotype references, status changes)
• Monitoring over time (growth, bleaching, disease, partial mortality, predation)
• Transfers and outplanting (where did fragments go, when, and under what method)

Facility setup

1. Create site as restoration facility.
2. Open restoration workspace for that site.
3. Add structures and genotype references (if used).

Facility geometry (point vs boundary)

• Use a point when the facility is best represented as a location (for example: a lab building).
• Use a boundary when spatial layout matters (for example: an in-water nursery footprint).

Keep geometry stable so monitoring and reporting stay consistent.

Fragment operations

1. Register fragments under structures.
2. Record growth and health updates.
3. Maintain transfer and outplant traceability.

Fragment IDs and status

Recommended practice:

• Treat fragment IDs as permanent identifiers.
• Track status changes explicitly (alive, outplanted, dead, lost, merged, archived).
• Avoid “renaming” fragments to fix mistakes; instead, add notes and use status/history.

Monitoring cadence

Keep cadence consistent (for example monthly or quarterly) so changes are interpretable:

• Growth measurements: size, DBH/height-like measures, or protocol-specific size values
• Health measurements: bleaching, disease, partial mortality, predation presence
• Survival and performance rollups feed into analytics and reporting

Suggested controls

• Keep fragment IDs stable
• Use regular monitoring cadence
• Audit outplant linkage before reporting
• Keep “inputs vs outcomes” disciplined in notes and claims language
• Use Metrics reference for consistent metric interpretation
