Coral Farming
Coral farming is the practice of cultivating coral in controlled environments to restore damaged reefs and support marine biodiversity. This process involves growing coral fragments in nurseries, where they can thrive before being transplanted back into their natural habitats. Coral farming helps combat the effects of climate change, pollution, and overfishing, which threaten coral ecosystems.
By using techniques such as fragment propagation and larval propagation, coral farmers can increase the resilience of coral species. These efforts not only enhance the health of coral reefs but also provide benefits to marine life and coastal communities that rely on these ecosystems for protection and resources.
