The Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a large sea turtle that is known for its olive-brown shell, or carapace, and its white or yellowish underbelly. They are a common sight in tropical and subtropical waters, particularly around coral reefs and seagrass beds. Green turtles are herbivores, feeding mainly on seagrass and algae. They are also known for their long migrations, traveling thousands of miles to reach their nesting beaches. Unfortunately, these turtles are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, hunting, and accidental capture in fishing nets. Conservation efforts, such as protected nesting areas and regulations on fishing practices, have helped to stabilize their populations in some areas.
The Biorock Artificial Coral Reef in Bali is a unique and innovative way to protect and restore coral reefs. The reef is made up of metal structures that are electrically charged, which helps to stimulate the growth of coral and other marine life. The Biorock reef is located in the Pemuteran Bay, off the coast of North Bali. The project was started in 1998 by Dr. Aric J. Friedman, a marine biologist and environmental engineer. The Biorock reef has been very successful in attracting and supporting coral growth. In just a few years, the reef has grown to cover an area of over 10,000 square meters. The reef is now home to a wide variety of coral species, as well as fish, turtles, and other marine life. The Biorock reef is a valuable addition to the marine ecosystem of Bali. It provides a safe haven for coral and other marine life, and it helps to protect the reef from the effects of pollution and climate change. The Biorock reef is a model for how we can use technology to protect and restore our coral reefs.
