for thousands of years and it s the live coral that s been keeping us alive. so, even if sea levels don t rise but if the coral dies, then eventually, the core of the islands will continue to sink, so our goal is to keep the coral alive. sonu tells me he s started his own marine research institute on the resort. i ve come to meet the scientists who are trying a different approach to nurturing the corals back to life. this is one of the largest coral nurseries in the world. thousands of colonies saved from a nearby site have been planted here. aki allahgholi, a former banker turned coral specialist, is leading the project. the goal is to produce, basically, 50,000 corals every year to be outplanted into the environment where they are needed.
