px1299-D. An artificial reef in Permuteran Bay on the island of Bali in Indonesia. The man-made metal Bio Rock(tm) reef structure is energized, a low-voltage electrical current flowing through the metal frame. This causes minerals in the sea water to precipitate onto the steel frames, resulting in the formation of a limestone layer. Scientists then attach small pieces of coral to the Bio Reef structures. These corals quickly become cemented into place by the accumulating limestone. The transplanted corals grow very quickly- perhaps four times as fast as they ordinarily do- and evidence suggests they are also better able to survive stressful events such as an El Nino. As a technique to aid coral reef restoration, Bio Rock projects such as this hold promise in global efforts to reverse coral reef degradation and restore habitat. Scuba diver (model released).
