Artificial coral growth speeds up post-El Nino recovery June 16,
2009 In 1998, El Nino brought excessive and prolonged heat to
the Maldives, bleaching and killing 90 per cent of the nation’s
corals, and in some atolls, damaging up to 98 per cent of reefs.
The stress of that year’s oscillation left the normally
tropical-coloured marine organisms in a pallid white state, and
some scientists are trying to speed up the recovery process
through cutting-edge techniques of coral propagation, also known
as artificial reef growth. Read the full .Artificial Reef
