Zeolite-microfragmenting Media: A Potential Strategy to Accelerate Coral Growth

Coral reef is a critical underwater ecosystem that rich in biodiversity. growth has decreased drastically due to physical and chemical threats, such as the effect of warming seawater, fish bombing activities, effects wastewater. The efficiency level coral transplantation determined by many factors, including stability environment condition, diversity, method transplantation. influence planting medium can also be key factor succeeding process. use stable natural growing media solution replace conventional have been used. Zeolite material advantages amending trace elemental contents saltwater carbon absorbents, detoxifiers, ammonia remover, catalysts, promoting marine micro-algal growth, become for bacterial etc. This review discusses possibility zeolites candidate used new process accelerate maintain health increasing adaptation corals global climate change.
