Combatting Coral Bleaching and Ocean Acidification

Combatting Coral Bleaching and Ocean Acidification

Management techniques that prevent bleaching of limited reef areas are the only direct interventions known that might reduce coral mortality due to climate change. This project explores methods to cool areas of coral reef and test bleaching recovery methods on coral reefs in American Samoa. This study will measure efficacy and scalability of this technology for potential future tests and use in a deployable or installed system.
