According to research, it takes decades to a century for damaged reefs to heal or re-grow. However, with the advanced technology we have, we might be able to shorten the time required to have the ocean filled with colourful reefs again.
EcoReef is a hybrid of technology and organic life. They look articifial on land but manage to attract the growth of wide varieties of baby corals and fish habitats than expected. To make this happen, the local activists use coral transplant technique to tie loose corals to the "antlers" of EcoReefs and let the nature does its wonder.
I hope Redang Island, Perhentian Island and others will adopt this initiative from our neighbouring country, Indonesia, soon. We have beautiful tropical islands in Malaysia but we do not have responsible civilians to protect them. It's about time.
