Restoration Site

The container layer between a Branch and the working sites. A Restoration Site groups the nurseries, outplant areas, control sites, and donor colonies that together serve one restoration programme at a location.

Hierarchy

    └── Donor Colony

Reference Sites are scoped to the branch rather than nested under a Restoration Site — one reference site can anchor diversity and cover targets for multiple Restoration Sites in the same region.

What it represents

The Restoration Site exists so that all the moving parts of a single restoration effort can be tracked together — what's being grown, where it's being planted, what it's being compared against, and where mother colonies are being collected from. From a methodology perspective, the term "restoration site" in the manual maps to this container plus the outplant area it owns.

Identity in the data model

Every active nursery, outplant, control, and donor colony carries location.restositeID pointing at its parent Restoration Site. This is how Reef Manager rolls up site-level statistics into a single Restoration Site view.
