One of the most beautiful and majestic ecosystems in the world is the Great Barrier Reef – 130,000+ square miles of colorful coral, fishes and other plants and creatures that have lived in harmony for more than 600,000 years off the coast of northeastern Australia. But rising ocean temperatures caused by climate change has killed off much of the coral and is threatening to destroy the entire reef.
Now the Australian Institute for Marine Science has teamed up with the Australian government harness technology to repair the damage caused by other technologies. Advanced computers are identifying weak areas in the reef and are sending in human-guided robotic vehicles to plant baby corals and keep track of them to ensure that they survive into adulthood and keep the whole ecosystem alive and thriving.
