Biorock technology
Biorock technology is a method used to promote coral reef restoration and marine ecosystem health. It involves creating artificial structures made of a special mineral material that is electrically charged. This charge causes dissolved minerals in seawater to crystallize on the structure, forming a limestone-like coating. This process supports coral growth and increases resilience against stressors like climate change and ocean acidification. In addition to aiding coral reefs, Biorock can encourage diverse marine life and improve coastal protection, making it a valuable tool for ecological restoration and sustainability in marine environments.
