Israel: Reforming coral reefs using 3D printing

The world’s coral reefs are in existential danger due to many factors including global warming

Researchers from Israeli universities found a way to use 3D printing to preserve coral reefs, which are becoming increasingly extinct.

The world’s coral reefs are in existential danger due to many factors including global warming and urbanization in coastal areas, which places tremendous stress on marine life.

Natalie Levy, a Ph.D. student at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, explained that the “rapid decline of coral reefs increased the need for exploring interdisciplinary methods for reef restoration.”

"Examining how to conserve the biodiversity of coral reefs is a key issue, but there is also an urgent need to invest in technology that can improve the coral ecosystem and our understanding of the reef environment,” she added.
