1. Overal objective: Developing a technical process for culturing and restoring corals in order to preserve and develop sustainably the marine coral reef ecosystem in Vietnam. 2. Goals: - Develop A technical process for culturing and restoring corals in degraded reef areas - Developed a technical process for culturing corals on artificial reefs - Proposing solutions to manage and sustainably maintain the coral recovery culture model 3. Tasks Task 1. Developing criteria for selecting species of cultured corals for restoration and areas for releasing artificial corals Task 2. The draft technical process for culturing and restoring corals in degraded reef areas and technical procedures for restoring corals on artificial reefs Task 3. Experimental model of coral restoration culture in degraded reef areas and coral restoration culture model on artificial reefs at Hai Van - Son Cha. Task 4. Completing the technical process of culturing and restoring corals in degraded reef areas and the technical process of culturing and restoring corals on artificial reefs Task 5. Develop solutions to manage and sustainably maintain the coral recovery culture model.
