| Research Abstract |
Coral reefs around the world have been rapidly degrading due to the coral bleaching caused by global warming. The largest critical situation of the degrading corals is to lose corals on the reef flat. Corals growing on the reef flat have been prevented from erosion of coral reef by wave and Islands from sinking. Also, corals have been kept coral reef ecosystem as a primary producer in the tropical countries. We successfully developed coral restoration technology for the shallow reef flat at the outer reef, by newly developed slag-ceramic coral settlement device and developed the coral restoration technology to use it at Sekisei Lagoon, Japan and Bunaken National Park in Indonesia.
