Restoring Coral Reefs: An In-depth Exploration of Mineral Accretion Technology

Dive deep into ocean conservation with this insightful two-hour lecture, filmed during an online workshop in February 2021. Explore the urgency of coral reef restoration, underlined by an in-depth analysis of coral bleaching and ocean acidification. Learn about the innovative use of Mineral Accretion Technology, also known as Biorock, Seacrete, or Seament, pioneered by Professor Wolf Hilbertz. This video offers an in-depth understanding of the technology's design, chemistry, and electrical properties. Furthermore, it provides a real-world case study from the Hin Fai site on Koh Tao, Thailand. Whether you're a marine biologist, environmentalist, or simply someone keen on understanding and contributing to marine preservation, this video is a valuable resource. Don't miss the opportunity to understand this game-changing approach to coral reef restoration.

The lecture was given by Chad Scott, founder of Conservation Diver and the New Heaven Reef Conservation Program.
