Scientrific, Playing Reef Ball: AAll around the world, our coral reefs are suffering. These 'rainforests of the sea' are under attack from
pollution, over-fishing, rising ocean temperatures and marine pests such as the crown-of-thorns starfish.
Introducing the reef ball: a concrete ball ranging from football-sized to desk-sized with bid holes in its
sides. This strange-looking object is designed to help rebuild teens by providing new habitats for coral,
sponges, fish and other reef creatures.
First, the reef ball is towed out to its resting place, then lowered to the sea moor. The rough surface of
the concrete provides tiny pits where marine creatures such as coral can attach themselves, and the holes
in the reef ball are used by fish and other animals as shelter.....
