Fantastic!
I came across some restoration projects similar to the one in the vid, while diving in Bonaire. Here are some pictures.
These are known as christmas trees. An easy way to grow staghorn and elkhorn corals.
And some growing along the bottom on wires
And here are new transplants

So heartwarming to see that there are wonderful people working on these wonderful projects. Maybe wishful thinking, but hoping that soon, we could undo all the damage we have done to our beautiful Mother earth.

Positively the most efficient way to frag and grow corals. When I saw them hanging on underwater clothes lines, my mind was blown.

A good friend of mine works for Nature Seychelles who have a great coral restoration project running following a coral bleaching event associated with the El Nino. Check this out:
