Australian coral scientists have been collaborating with technologists to develop AI-powered robots that can automate and accelerate coral restoration and rehabilitation, experimenting with artificial skeletons made of recycled stone waste to hold coral fragments. Manual rehabilitation is a slow, laborious, and expensive task, with current efforts rehabilitating just 1 hectare annually — with this new technology, a coral startup hopes to increase that number dramatically, eventually restoring 100 hectares of reefs every year! 🪸 | Source: Bloomberg
