Default Shock your Corals -Jolts of electricity revive damaged coral

Hm, so electricity will accelerate growth and turn corals into super corals that more resilient to hot weather and pollution. My acros could sure use a few jolts then.

"The wires are part of highly original and ambitious underwater experiment: the use of low-voltage electrical current to stimulate regrowth in a badly damaged coral reef."

"The grids were then seeded with small fragments of live coral, which begin to grow "between five and 10 times faster than normal, with much brighter colors and more resilience to hot weather and pollution," said a co-owner of the Taman Sari Cottages, an American who goes by the single name Naryana."
