      Is this a sustainable use of the sea floor? Legit asking. It looks cool, and I think it might be an opportunity for local artists to express themselves BUT will it damage the ocean? @DeepPacificPod what you think?pic.twitter.com/sBythA95SK

      If the statues were used to implant baby corals I'm sure it'll be great. The problem is getting everyone educated on not touching it..... Even for an innocent picture. Also I think limestone might be the best suited material.

      Ahh, if they were to be used for coral recruitment and tourism, it would be somewhat at odds. We know that we cannot control what people are doing to things underwater without tour operator/bystander interference (& they have little incentive to enforce too), but its a great idea

      Limestone is also not the best material because it erodes easily into water (just look at our cliffsides & how sharp they are from being shaped by the wave action), which is probably why those others used reef-safe coatings to slow the erosion.

      As someone who worked w/ baby corals, their environment requires a lot of upkeep and as little human interaction as possible, so this would be a great alternative/deterrant to tourists taking pics on our reefs, they could definitely go to this place instead, which is better!

      Ahhh nice. So maybe a granite statue to give coral polyps a sturdier base to grow on? And yeah I was also thinking of it being away from the actual reefs to keep people away from them! Just hope it doesn't become packed like Grotto to the point where the polyps are stressed.

      Tbh, if we were to use them as recruitment for corals it would be best for them to recruit naturally (vs implantation) but that would also mean we would need to upkeep in terms of sending people to scrub the algae off every 2-3 weeks to keep corals competitive..which requires $$.

          I hate how every road leads back to funding. Maybe we send tourists down with the scrubs😂😂😂

          IMO I wouldn't use it as a means to grow corals, I think that's a lot to ask from the govt & setting us up for disappointment. But as a tourist attraction? Great idea. If corals attach & survive, even better, but I wouldn't count on that if there's nobody to scrub off the algae.

          BUT not to say it's not a bad idea! If even just for the fact that it deters tourists from going to damage our actual reefs, it is HELLA worth it. It is worth it 10x over. Corals are in for it in the next 30 yrs, & this could really help reefs by diverting people, if done right.
