Launching Targeted Restoration Efforts

One of the key projects in this partnership was the establishment of a land-based nursery that utilized Sea Foundry’s automated systems for coral breeding and water quality management. This nursery became a critical hub for cultivating genetically resilient coral species, which were later outplanted to degraded reef areas, demonstrating a scalable model for coral restoration.
