Coral reef restoration is the process of helping damaged or dying coral reefs recover and thrive again. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support a wide variety of marine life, but they face threats from climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Restoration efforts often involve planting new coral fragments, improving water quality, and creating protected areas to allow reefs to heal.
Scientists and conservationists work together to develop techniques for coral restoration, such as using coral nurseries to grow healthy corals before reintroducing them to the wild. These efforts not only help restore the reefs but also support local communities that rely on fishing and tourism for their livelihoods.
