How Commercial Coral Farming for Reef Restoration is Outpacing Nature 50 to One
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Coral Vita has cultivated over 100,000 corals across 52 species using microfragmentation and assisted evolution techniques, achieving growth rates 50 times faster than natural reef recovery, with restored areas showing fish populations double pre-restoration levels and coral survival rates up to 99%.
Half the world's corals are already dead and over 90% are on track to die within decades; restoration cannot outpace warming and acidification without emissions reductions.
