Coral reefs are exposed to great risks associated with global warming and man-made threats, like unsustainable fishing practices.
However, a new green method is safeguarding fishes, oysters and corals, ensuring their development and even helping them grow faster.
Biorock reef restoration depends on a risk-free low voltage electrical currents running through a metallic structure placed in the waters of Bali.
The electrified structures are used to grow limestone structures of any shape and size in the depths of the sea, according to
Msnbc. This method was invented by architect Wolf Hilbertz and implemented due to the contribution of marine biologist Tom Goreau.
Biorock Technology is used to come up with a material displaying a strength comparable to concrete, exploited to come up with resistant artificial reefs on which corals can grow very fast.
This environmentally friendly technology seems to be the first step towards a sustainable management of coral reefs.
Using this method, authorities will be able to minimize the impact of global warming on marine ecosystems and restore the balance of coral reefs in a few years.
