How they have achieved this: The Coral Restoration project have worked out how to grow new corals in ‘nurseries‘ and successfully replant them in the ocean.The project has focused stag horn and elk horn coral colonies; growing the corals in the nursery for about six months before replanting them in the ocean areas which have experienced the most damage.
Reasons to be hopeful:
