Ocean acidification, primarily caused by increased atmospheric CO2, poses a significant threat to coral reefs by disrupting their ability to form skeletons. This text explores the effects of acidification, legislative measures, and technological innovations aimed at coral reef conservation. It delves into coral farming and advanced restoration techniques, such as artificial substrates and genetic interventions, to enhance reef resilience. Additionally, it addresses the challenge of invasive species and the importance of maintaining ecological balance to support reef health.
