UH scientists' 3D-printed ceramic shelters boost baby coral survival up to 50x and settlement 80x in Kāneʻohe Bay.
3D-printed ceramic shelters with spiral recesses, developed by University of Hawaiʻi scientists, boost baby coral survival by up to 50 times and increase settlement by 80 times compared to flat surfaces.
Tested in Kāneʻohe Bay, the low-cost, durable structures mimic natural coral crevices and are designed to integrate into reefs and coastal infrastructure.
The technology, part of the Reefense (R3D) program, aims to create living breakwaters that enhance reef recovery and coastal protection.
Funded by DARPA, the National Science Foundation, and others, the approach is being studied for scalability and long-term effectiveness in restoring coral ecosystems threatened by climate change.
Los refugios de cerámica impresos en 3D de los científicos de UH aumentan la supervivencia de los bebés de coral hasta 50 veces y el asentamiento 80 veces en la bahía de Kāneʻohe.
