[Coral-List] The Marine Biologist-Turned-Entrepreneur Restoring Coral Reefs Using 3D Printing And Clay

[Austin Bowden-Kerby]

Thanks for sharing Vassil,

By whose definition is this restoration?  Habitat enhancement at best
perhaps?   The last thing we need is more dead substrate for colonization
by algae.  And the last thing we need now is to perpetuate the delusion in
the press that there are quick fixes, and that such tiny efforts are
scalable, even if they worked!

Regards,

Austin
