Move over, land gardeners—Hainan’s researchers are bringing green thumbs underwater! In a groundbreaking effort to revive marine ecosystems, scientists in southern China’s Hainan Province are transplanting corals like aquatic botanists, creating vibrant “underwater gardens” that buzz with marine life.
Think of coral reefs as the apartment complexes of the ocean—they house 25% of marine species. But pollution and climate change have left many reefs looking like ghost towns. Now, teams are carefully attaching coral fragments to artificial reefs using eco-friendly “glue,” accelerating recovery in areas once left barren.
One marine biologist described the project as “a group project where everyone wins—fish get homes, coastal communities get natural storm barriers, and we get healthier oceans.” Collaborations with local fishers and tech startups are turning this into a #OceanGoals success story.
