Reef Restoration and Rehabilitation
Reef restoration and rehabilitation refer to efforts aimed at repairing and restoring damaged coral reefs. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that provide habitat for marine life, protect coastlines, and support local economies. Restoration involves actively rebuilding damaged reefs by planting new corals and enhancing their growth, while rehabilitation focuses on improving the overall health of the reef environment by reducing pollution and other stressors. These processes are essential for sustaining marine biodiversity and promoting resilience against climate change, ensuring that reefs continue to thrive for future generations.
