Scientists are around the reefs of Palau to investigate the potential of a experimental technique called coral seeding. They will collect the spawn from mass mating events that are supposed to happen so around these regions to promote growth of new corals of reefs that are in need of rescue. Here around Palau the reefs are in good shape, however other reefs are not. They will use “tents” on the seabed floor, most of what they are using is very low tech. Here at RB we are hoping all goes well!
