Pieces of broken coral are being used to help regenerate the reef, but marine scientists say it's no substitute for action on climate change.

abc.net.au/news/great-barrier-reef-coral-restoration-broken-coral-nurseries/101749084Pieces of broken coral are being rescued and rehabilitated in "nurseries" so they can be transplanted back onto the Great Barrier Reef, but marine scientists say it's no substitute for action on climate change.

Several organisations are collecting broken or near-dead coral and rehabilitating it in coral nurseries in the hope of saving the Great Barrier Reef one broken piece at a time.Dr Emma Camp is the deputy team leader of the future reef team at the University of Technology Sydney and the co-founder of The Coral Nurture Program.

The pieces are then attached to the coral nurseries, which are floating aluminium frames, in the hope of the broken coral regrowing and repairing.

Why not give reef areas a break from human...

The Reef exists as a result of catastrophic natural Earth events and like everything will change over time - us as part of that process. About time to recognise everything is in life/death cycle so? By all means cut your own consumption,waste of junk,covenience products.

It’s growing already

Coral grows fine on the reef by itself. Stop the climatragic lies

Bullshit

only if done on an industrial scale and new reefs established off SS Coast, G Coast and FN Coast nsw where thewater temperatures will now or soon be more suitable

No. It is growing nicely on the reef. Climate alarmist liars would have you belive otherwise. The truth is that the coral reef ebbs and flows. Always has. Always will.

Supporting nazis in Ukraine helps the great barrier reef

The GBR is a nursery. Coral is going at a great rate.

The coral reef seems to be in a constant fight for existence, costing us millions in funding bogus research. Let the reef fend for itself.

No, but it will transfer a shedload of taxpayers' hard-earned to coral botherers. Which is the point.

The last survey said it had the highest coral cover on record.

The only thing threatening the GBR is the Crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks which cause significant damage to coral reefs.

What happen to our $ 500million ?

The reef is fine. Nothing will save ABC muppets

Have to be a bloody big nursery!!

But there’s more coral cover now than the last 30 years…. What bull 💩are you peddling?

Not unless the nurseries are powered by unicorn shit

The GBR is fine ABC..... Stop trashing our tourist industries.

I’d just go with this….

No, because the coral is dying due to warmer water. There'd be heaps more coral if we actually addressed the underlying cause.

Great Barrier Reef is flourishing according to scientific studies. Perhaps ABC could spend less money on self-advertising & more on research?

No. The only thing that will save the reef and everything else on this planet is addressing climate change as a matter of urgency.

What happened to your 'global warming' narrative, now that the weather is so cold

The great barrier reef is in good health with record coral. Socialist activists at the ABC is spreading disinformation, and we are picking up the $1.1Billion bill. Is this a distraction coz your Labor govt has made an unholy mess after only 6 months? Defund the socialist ABC.

No. Anything humans try to do is paying lip service to Nature. Once we've wiped a good number of our own species out then Nature can get back to doing what we have no idea about. Too many, humans can fix this, nonsense these days We're wrecking faster than what can be repaired.

No. The GBR is at record coral cover.

There's nothing wrong with the coral. Stop shoveling the the bull crap.

More climate change lies.

Absolute bullshit!
