Summary
A conservation group is using concrete molds and 3D-printed structures to build artificial reefs in the Coral Triangle near Malaysia, aiming to revive coral ecosystems devastated by bombing and climate change. The Tropical Research and Conservation Center is deploying these structures near Pom Pom Island to provide a foundation for coral regrowth in a critically damaged marine environment.
