India works to restore island coral reefs against rising seas
Original: India working to restore island coral reefs: “to rebuild its natural defences with artificial reefs, transplanted corals
India is working to restore coral reefs around its islands, using artificial reefs, transplanted corals and seagrass meadows. The aim is to rebuild natural coastal defences, slow erosion and protect the mainland from surging seas. The effort highlights growing concerns about climate-driven sea level rise and the loss of reef ecosystems that shield coastlines.
Why now: Climate change and coastal protection are drawing attention to nature-based defences against rising seas.
