Three Solutions to the Dying Coral Reefs

Many solutions have been proposed to save the coral reefs around the world. Here are some solutions people can use to save the coral reefs :

One solution was suggested by an architect named Professor Hilbertz. His invention is designed to reproduce coral by using electricity to obtain stone from water. The method known as "Mineral Accretion" uses low voltage electric currents to grow solid limestone structures in the sea and making additional energy available for the corals. The energy accelerartes the growth and reproduction of corals by increasing their abbility to resist enviromental stresses and makes them healthier and visibly brighter in color. By doing this, the coral reproduces four times faster than it normally would. The Ihuru Barnacle Project and the Vabbinfaru Lotus Project are two examples of how "Minneral Accretion" is a successful proect.

A second solution is to build artificial coral reefs. Artificial reefs are built to create more marine life. If we build artificial reefs, we can increase the biodiversity of life in the oceans. This will help save the coral reefs from bleaching if there are new areas being built. Even though this process takes 25 years, it provides an alternative for different species to develop in the ocean. Artificial reefs have been used all around the world for many years. The first time artificial reefs were used was in the early 1970s. The process has progressed and is now seen in many different areas.

Other than developments that people have created, we can do simple things to save coral reefs. Everyone can do their part and recycle or volunteer for a beach clean-up crew. You can support coral reef guidelines when visiting. If you dive, do not touch the coral and do not leave snorkels and other equipment in the water. That will ruin the corals and that defeats the purpose of saving them. By following these guidelines, the coral reefs will be more safe. This is a closer step to fully saving the coral reefs.

Interview

I interviewed my father to hear what he thought about the coral reefs dying around the world.

Q: Are you concerned about the coral reefs dying?

A: Yes, I am concerned about the coral reefs dying.

Q: Do you think it will make a difference if there are coral reefs?

A: Yes, because they support many different ecosystems and a variety of species of plants and sea life. If the coral reefs die, the biodiversity will die off and some sea creatures will become extinct.

Q: How much effort do you think people should be putting into saving the coral reefs?

A: People should be using all of their resources they can get a hold of to fix the problem. If they wish to fix the coral reefs, they need to put forth a lot of effort.

Q: Will the efforts being put into saving the reefs make any difference?

A: At the rate in which the reefs are declining, I am not sure if the reefs can be saved. I believe there would have to be a drastic change in order for the reefs to survive.

Q: What would you do to save the coral reefs?

A: I would create a foundation to try and stop the coral reefs from dying. I would test different solutions to see what the best one is to fix the coral reefs.

As you have read, my father finds the dying coral reefs to be an important issue. He, along with many others, wish that the coral reefs will not die off and that they will live for many years. The biodiversity loss in the coral reefs would be too drastic of losses.
