this week, we re diving into the world of artificial reefs. the advantage to this is you can take all of the best qualities of a natural reef and you can exaggerate them, completely. the robots have come to town. and paul finds out how old bangers are being given an afterlife. it s an engine ina dishwasher. course it is! our oceans and the marine life they support are under threat. climate change is causing them to warm at record levels and as the seas absorb more co2 they also become more acidic. and that as well as other man made damage like trawling for fish can have a devastating impact on important habitats like reefs, but can technology offer a solution? well, adrian murray has been finding out about some conservation efforts to help bring back marine life in two very different parts of the world, starting in denmark. just off the island of samso, plans are under way to build an artificial reef, and i m about to join a group of researchers on the water for a closer loo
turn all white and could potentially die. that is what scientists are concerned about if this marine heat wave continues to build. losing coral could be costly. coral reefs generate billions of dollars for florida s economy through fishing and tourism, which wouldn t be possible without reefs to protect the species that rely on them. we ve been looking at several ways to make corals better. reporter: even corals that can withstand even a 5 degree difference, can mitigate heat waves expects in the future. corals are one of the most sensitive to climate change. without them, we could lose a natural defense system as healthy corals help protect coastlines during hurricanes. efforts ongoing right now are taking steps to plan for climate change to restore reefs to be suitable for future environments and not the victims of it. reporter: this is the
of efforts to restore reefs. spectacular coral reefs like these found in more tropical waters are home to a vast array of marine life and are crucial to the livelihoods of millions of people. yet, some scientists predict they could be wiped out in just a few decades. after witnessing coral bleaching, marine biologist taryn foster launched her start up coral maker. coral reefs are being hit by this global challenge which is climate change so we re having consecutive years of record breaking ocean temperatures. coral grow very slowly, while restoration efforts involve painstaking manual work. so, the australian firm has turned to automation and robotics to quickly scale it up. corals make their own skeletons out of limestones.
