HO HO HO,
It's time for another instalment of coral rejuvenation! And this is some cool stuff.
This video outlines everything you need to know about this bioengineering marvel. It focuses on an example in Gili Trawangan and I saw these for myself when I was there in 2011. Truly amazing. The video also expresses the value of coral reefs in monetary terms and ecosystem benefits. Seems like it is time to get serious.
This article highlights the use of Biorock technology to form the Ihuru Island artificial reef system. Further, it highlights the advantages of this technology and provides a nice diagram to help you visualise what it looks like.
I have found a powerpoint presentation on the Global Coral Reef Alliance website that illustrates a Biorock restoration project in Bali. It is the longest continuously run coral reef restoration project around and provides some amazing before and after shots as well some information that repeats both the video and the article.
Happy Holidays,
Seb
