Artificial Resif Road

17.11.2008 Radical

Japanese scientists are trying to build coral reefs in the artificial way by planting coral on ceramic support.

[[T]] The professor Mineo Okamoto, who manages the first project with Japan Ministry of Environment, stated that they could open the way to save other coral barriers in the world, "no coral reef was created, but in ten years they thought to perform it." Scientists working in the corals in the Sekisei pond, ranging from Okinava islands in the south of Japan in the eastern Chinese sea, will sew about 6 thousand corals on the ceramic basis to create reef. It was noted that the foot of ceramic bases will be placed next month on the sea base. The study was announced that this type is the only experiment in the world. [

It was noted that the coral population in this region decreases by 80 percent in the last twenty years due to the damage caused by seawater temperature rise and corals.

Science men often prefer ways to take coral samples from existing coral barriers to clean reefs or sew elsewhere.
