Description
In the crystal-clear waters of Cape Greco, on the southeast coast of Cyprus, marine biologists install floating nurseries in a pioneering effort in the Mediterranean to help restore a coral population hit by climate change and unsustainable human activity. On nets some five metres down, they pin fragments of "Cladocora caespitosa" corals on floating nurseries in two marine protected areas, in an experiment to "try to restore the communities that have been declining in recent years".
