Climate change damages coral reefs. In a video filmed in the Maldives in April 2023, an Italian research team demonstrates the properties of a new biodegradable and hardening material designed for underwater reef restoration work.
This new material was developed by the Italian Institute of Technology and the University of Milano-Bicocca, in collaboration with the Acquario di Genova, and described in the journal Advanced Sustainable Systems in June 2024.
The new material is biodegradable and non-polluting because it consists of two components of plant origin.
