Firstly, congratulations to the team of Coral vita for bringing this innovative project to enhance the Coral reefs restorations, that support the marine ecosystem in providing marine species shelter, safety from predators, balancing food for some marine species. Ultimately protection from climate change. Well done Ahmed,the project manager for building coral restoration successfully from lab scale to natural sea environment. All the very best, good job.
Simplistic greenwashing as such coral gardening cannot restore coral reefs to the scale at which they are being lost. Also, if we don't decarbonise our economy to address climate change, no amount of coral gardening will make any difference as coral will die due to bleaching. But Dubai doesn't want to say that. Dubai is the second-largest oil producer in the United Arab Emirates.

Oh bless your soul and thank you for your work❤❤ I got so moved busy this that I teared up. Coral reliefs has been one of my worst topic when studying/working with environmental and climate topics due to the big sorrow of it. But this gave me hope ❤
Eh, microfragging is nice and all, but as a lesson from marine aquarium stores who've been doing this process for years already, if you manage to establish a system with mature, large mother colonies, you can just constantly frag them to the point where you eventually run out of space for the frags. They might grow slower relatively, but the combined output volume is just that much bigger. Growth rates in mariculture are still much bigger than offshore, though, with a lot less resources invested, so the priority should probably be identifying tough clones and growing those out.
That's crazy that we've lost 50% of the world's coral between 1970 and present. The video said we will only be down 90% by 2050. So the scientists think that loss is slowing down now?
When I was on a trip to Lombok in Indonesia, I tried snorkeling for the first time and was disappointed with the sight. Almost all of the corals were bleached (meaning dead) and I probably only saw 1 or 2 alive, of course there was fish but I do hope Indonesia will also focus on these types of projects.
No - what you're looking at are actually large coral *colonies* rather than individual animals. They're not cutting apart the individual coral animals, they're just fragmenting the colonies.
Just wondering - what is the impact on coral population of digging up thousands of miles of seabed so that we can make fake manmade islands for property development projects?
Anything involving UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Myanmar and lsrael gets an instant dislike from me, always, unless it's about critiquing or resisting their fascist regimes.
I don't know if you guys ever tried deep fried coral, but it's delicious - you can snap pieces off when you're on those snorkeling trips, and take it back with you. Especially good with any local seasonings from whatever resort you're staying at

Are Emirati’s supposed to go back to living a bedouin lifestyle?

Vin Diesel is here doing Poseidon's work over here!
Hope Dubai spends more on these projects.
Sure... I hope they finish those unfinished ones first, not abandon those all over the place.
Not just spend more on these projects, but also reduce spending on oil and gas projects.
That's too expensive. Paying for greenwashing to make it look like they are doing something, is way cheaper
You should tell UAE regime to stop genociding, mass imprisoning and mass killing, and stop destabilizing its neighbors.

We used to mock people for greenwashing the reality.

this feels coral-ly right to do
So happy you are doing this! I wish you success.
its not 2 late 4 us 2 save Coral Reefs & the Ocean in General 4 that matter 🪸 🌊
Chalice or alos called cupping corals are LPS not SPS
great
Protect all animals from climate catastrophe and Mother Nature’s planet
Cool
If coral is an animal, does it hurt them to cut pieces off of them like that? Ouch! I’m hoping (and guessing) not but super curious.

I thought saving corals was common knowledge…

Greenwashing ftw
Why did you destroy in the first now you want to restore to show what damage is done
