Puerto Rico project to restore coral reef with 124,000 fragments
Original: Puerto Rico’s Caribbean Reef Project aims to restore five acres using 124,000 coral fragments, 9,600 sea
A large-scale restoration effort in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean Reef Project, plans to rebuild five acres of coral reef using 124,000 coral fragments and 9,600 sea urchins. The urchins are expected to help control algae that smothers coral, giving the transplanted fragments a better chance to grow and rebuild damaged reef habitat.
Why now: Large-scale coral restoration efforts are drawing attention as reef decline accelerates across the Caribbean.
