| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop a system encouraging coral restoration by using a weak electric current, the following field investigations, hydraulic experiment, design of the mortar base for coral reproduction and coral growing experiment have been conducted. The field investigations were carried out in Okinawa, and studied actual coral damages and the present situation of coral restoration. In the hydraulic experiment, an independent hydroelectric power generator was tested it design and performance by using a circulated water channel. The mortar base for coral reproduction was examined on its material and structure, and designed suitable for coral restoration. In the coral growing experiment, coral has been raised in two water tanks simulating the actual sea bottom environment of coral reef, and a growth rate of coral was compared about the material of mortar base and the weak electric current.
