The pink specks were sperm and eggs released by coral
OFF MAN NAI ISLAND, Thailand - On a starry night, four Thai marine biologists scuba dived through shallow waters off an island in the country's south as billions of pink specks floated up from the ocean floor in a spectacle that takes place only once a year.
Their research is painstaking because the coral only spawn once a year, and it can take up to five years to raise the juveniles in a lab before they are ready to be transferred back onto the seabed. She added the loss of Thailand's reefs doesn't just pose a significant threat to the ocean ecosystem, but also to the country's economy, as it impacts tourism and fisheries that depend on healthy coral habitats for fish populations.
The project came after as much as 90% of Thailand's coral reefs were affected by a mass bleaching event that started in 2010, most likely triggered by rising water temperatures.
