UZELA: Illuminating the Depths - A Game-Changer for Coral Reef Survival

Coral reefs, often considered the rainforests of the sea, are among the most diverse and vital ecosystems on our planet. They provide habitat for approximately 25% of all marine species and offer critical ecosystem services, including coastal protection, fisheries, and tourism, with an estimated global economic value of nearly $10 trillion USD. However, these invaluable ecosystems face unprecedented threats due to climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction. Scientists are working tirelessly to develop innovative solutions to enhance coral resilience. One such groundbreaking development is the Underwater Zooplankton Enhancement Light Array, or UZELA. In today’s episode, we will explore the research behind this remarkable technology, the scientists who pioneered it, and its implications for coral conservation.
