Um, okay. They estimate the fans could help reduce average surface temperatures by 0.7°C during potential bleaching conditions in the summer months. Seems a temporary fix in the short-term w/o addressing the issue behind the bleaching in the first place. And how will they plan to keep smaller organisms (e.g. fish, turtles, etc.) from the propeller blades? Anyone know if a pilot project of this has already occurred in Australia or anywhere else? And if so, anyone know the results of what that pilot provided?
