Moving on to Indonesia, a remarkable success story of coral reef restoration has emerged. As part of the Mars Coral Reef Restoration program, scientists have implemented innovative methods to regrow degraded reefs. One effective technique involves using Reef Stars, hexagonal-shaped structures that secure and nurture new coral growth.
In just four years, a damaged reef was restored to a healthy state, evidenced by a tripling in the availability of calcium carbonate—an essential component of thriving coral ecosystems. This approach serves as an emblem of hope for future coral restoration efforts worldwide.
