Indeed, the percentage of ocean floor covered has reduced from 98% to 1% during David Vaughan lifetime. However, there is a hope thanks to a new method of restoration called micro-fragmentation. This technique stimulates growth and rapid health coral’s. Corals grow more than 25 time faster than in nature. With this technique, they can cut to one polyp. When they put corals like that together, they observe a merger. Corals fused together in 9 months to create a coral that normally would have taken 15-20 years to grow in nature. The micro-fragmentation is a real hope for corals. After the “farming”, David Vaughan outplant them in nature but he needs permission for that. According to him, they produce more corals that he can outplant them with permission. Maybe we can save corals and oceans with this technique. Language (The language you are writing in) English
