<blockquote type="cite" cite><font size="-1">BIOROCK (Mineral
Accretion) is the revolutionary simple low-cost technology that is
the ONLY method for growing solid limestone artificial reefs, coral
nurseries, breakwaters, and other structures underwater using
renewable energy. The growth rate of corals and shellfish are
increased many times faster than normal, accelerating reef
restoration even in badly damaged areas. This workshop provides
hands-on training in design, construction, and installation of
practical solutions to a wide variety of ecological restoration,
mariculture, fisheries, shore protection, construction, and global
climate change problems, directly from its
inventors.</font></blockquote>
