Abstract

Currently, many measures to protect and restore coral reefs in the short and long term have been implemented in countries around the world, such as: asexual propagation method; sexual propagation method; substrate enhancement. Biorock technology has been successfully applied to coral restoration in many countries. This is a unique method that allows coral reefs and other marine ecosystems including seagrass, salt marshes, mangroves and oyster reefs to survive and recover from damage caused by climate change and physical destruction by significantly increasing the ability to settle, grow, survive and withstand high temperatures and pollution of all marine organisms. In addition, Biorock technology is applied to construct marine structures, prevent beach erosion, restore salt marshes and restore fisheries. Biorock  technology is the only sustainable method to protect coral reefs from mass extinction due to global warming.


The article provides useful information on the application of Biorock technology in coral reef restoration, coastal protection, marine biodiversity development in some countries around the world and the possibility of application in Vietnam


Keywords: Biorock technology, coral reef, marine biodiversity
