"would cost >AU$1.6 billion to restore just 10% of degraded coral areas globally (lowest cost/hectare & assuming all projects successful) ... using highest cost estimates, it would be >$26 trillion"
Reality check: coral restoration won’t save the world’s reefs
New research examined coral restoration projects worldwide to calculate what it would actually cost to bring back what’s already been lost.
