Scientists deploy underwater umbrellas to shield coral reefs
Original: Scientists invent underwater umbrellas to protect coral reefs
Researchers have developed underwater umbrellas designed to protect coral reefs, reportedly with encouraging early results. The devices are said to shield corals from damaging conditions such as excessive sunlight or heat at the surface. Details about which research team is behind the project, where the trials are taking place, and how well the umbrellas perform remain unclear beyond reports that the approach appears to be working.
Why now: A novel, seemingly successful technology for protecting threatened coral reefs is attracting attention as reef decline worsens worldwide.
