Coral Gardening

Coral gardening is a conservation technique used to restore damaged coral reefs. It involves collecting healthy coral fragments or larvae from existing reefs and nurturing them in controlled settings, such as underwater nurseries or aquariums. Once the corals grow to a suitable size, they are carefully transplanted back onto the degraded reef. This process helps rebuild coral populations, promote biodiversity, and improve reef resilience against threats like climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Coral gardening is a proactive approach to maintaining and restoring the health of coral ecosystems, which are vital for marine life and coastal communities.
