Coral regrowth at the donor site was rapid until a recent bleaching event reduced coral cover by more than half. Coral recovery at the donor site and changes in fish populations at the receiving site were tracked periodically over the following decade. Removal of coral from a navigation channel and relocation to a similar nearby dredged site occurred in 2005. However, continued long-term monitoring of recovery of transplanted corals is seldom sustained. Coral relocation has been established as an appropriate restoration technique in select cases, particularly where corals are scheduled for destruction. “We could see the pilots and we could see the red Rising Sun on the fuselage of their planes… and we knew that we were being attacked by Japan,” said Moriyama, who was only 16 years old at the time.Coral reef restoration and management techniques are in ever-increasing demand due to the global decline of coral reefs in the last several decades. “They flew right over my house,” said 97-year-old Charles Moriyama who lived in Wahiawa, ten miles north of Pearl Harbor. More than 200 Japanese dive bombers and torpedo bombers escorted by fighters flew over the rock formation and the mist-covered mountain range behind the “Blowhole” before heading south at treetop level to Pearl Harbor.
