Bangkok (VNA) - Thai marine biologists are makingefforts to save the country’s reefs from degradation driven by warming oceansand human activity like tourism.
As reported by Reuters, four of them dived through shallow watersoff an island in the country's south as billions of pink specks floated up fromthe ocean floor in a spectacle that takes place only once a year. The pink specks were sperm and eggs released by coral. Thescientists collected as many samples as possible for breeding.
Their research is painstaking because the coral only spawn once a year, and itcan take up to five years to raise the juveniles in a lab before they are readyto be transferred back onto the seabed, said the news agency.
The coral breeding and restoration project was started byThailand's Department of Marine and Coastal Resources in 2016 in the southernisland of Man Nai, which houses over 98 species of coral.
The project came after as much as 90% of Thailand's coralreefs were affected by a mass bleaching event that started in 2010, most likelytriggered by rising water temperatures.
Since the project was initiated, more than 4,000 coralcolonies around Mun Nai island have been restored, the department said./.
