Coral restoration around Fregate Island is scaling up
22/09/2021
The first stage of our experimental coral restoration project in the Seychelles being very successful, the project is now in phase II with an actual study on coral growth. The research aims to compare different durations of electrification to allow the Mineral Accretion Technology to be even more sustainable and scalable.
The main objective is to evaluate if there is a significant difference of support for the corals through the Mineral Accretion Technology if electricity is provided for 24hrs compared to only 12hrs during the day as well as 12hrs only during the night.
The motivation behind the study is to understand scalability, which will be the key factor in future coral restoration efforts, making the firsthand results in this research and experience of the utmost importance.
