Coral Propagation
The world’s coral reefs are in desperate trouble so harvesting coral for use in home and public aquariums is very hard on the wild population. By propagating our own corals, we can avoid this strain on the demand placed on corals harvested from the ocean.
In the wild, propagation happens naturally over the coral’s life span, a constant system where the coral grows, dies, and regenerates using the dead exoskeleton to grow new life upon. This dead exoskeleton makes up what we know as the coral reef.
