I saw a show a few weeks ago where a guy actually had a frag section in the ocean to grow corals and was then actually gluing the frags to the rocks. I can't remember the name of the show, but basically the group doing this was on their own and the project was going to come to an end due to funding. It would tie in with your option 2 to show what we've learned in the hobby, is actually being used to repopulate the reefs or vise versa. I'll try to look it up when I get home. (hope this makes sense...long day...)
