coral agriculture

Coral agriculture involves cultivating and harvesting corals in controlled environments, such as nurseries, to support reef restoration and conservation. It entails growing coral fragments until they are strong enough to be transplanted onto damaged reefs, promoting biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. This practice helps combat coral decline caused by climate change, pollution, and overfishing, enabling scientists and conservationists to replenish natural coral populations more effectively. Essentially, coral agriculture is a way of farming corals to restore and maintain healthy coral reefs for future generations.
