Скачать или смотреть Can Technology Save Coral Reefs? 🌊 Discover Biorock Magic! 🪸✨ | UPSC

Coral reefs are marine biodiversity hotspots, natural shoreline protectors, and crucial for fisheries and coastal communities — yet warming oceans, bleaching, and pollution are rapidly destroying them.

Enter Biorock Technology, also known as Mineral Accretion Technology (MAT) or Seacrete, pioneered in the 1970s by Wolf Hilbertz and Dr. Tom Goreau. This innovative method uses low-voltage electric currents in seawater to crystallize calcium carbonate, creating underwater “rock-like” structures.

These structures act as supercharged coral bases, where coral larvae grow 2–5× faster than on natural reefs. But it’s not just corals — oysters, seagrass, and fish habitats flourish, restoring marine biodiversity while also protecting shores from erosion. Unlike traditional seawalls that reflect waves and increase erosion, Biorock reefs diffuse wave energy and strengthen naturally as the reef grows.

Today, Biorock reefs have been deployed in ~40 countries, providing climate adaptation solutions for small island states threatened by sea-level rise. Corals survive heat stress, beaches rebuild naturally, and fisheries revive — all with a low-cost, self-strengthening solution.

For UPSC Geography + Environment, the key takeaways are:

Mineral Accretion Technology (MAT)

Coral reef restoration & marine biodiversity

Climate adaptation & coastal protection

Reef growth rates 2–5× natural

Sometimes, technology doesn’t just protect nature — it helps it grow! 🌊🔥
