    Bali Corals "Jolted" Back to Life​



    "Image"


    A scuba diver swims around an artificial reef in Pemuteran, Indonesia on January 18, 2004.

    The reef, part of a project dubbed the "Bio-Rock", is the creation of scientist Thomas Goreau and the late architect Wolf Hilbertz.

    The metal structures submerged in the bay off Bali's northwestern shore are fed by cables that send waves of low-voltage electricity, which spurs the coral to revive itself.


    Like repeated before, I have witnessed this first hand. Truly amazing results!
