<p><strong>Gili Eco Trust: Pioneering sustainable coral restoration with Blue Energy Reefs</strong></p>
<p>At Gili Eco Trust, we're revolutionising coral reef restoration with our groundbreaking Blue Energy Reef project. By harnessing the power of low-voltage electricity using Biorock technology, we're achieving what nature alone can't - corals grow up to 10 times faster and become 50 times more resilient. This incredible process not only brings dying reefs back to life, but can also help combat climate change by potentially increasing COâ absorption during accelerated growth.</p>
<p>In November 2023, we installed a marine turbine powered Biorock reef in partnership with AquaGen (Dynorotor). Their innovative Minnow turbine provides clean, continuous power from slow-moving water, proving that renewable energy can breathe life into our oceans. After more than a year, we're thrilled to see that our electrified reef is thriving - stabilising the seabed and attracting an abundance of marine life. As exciting as these results are, we've learned that our ambitions outstrip our current power supply.</p>
<p>That's why we're now working on scaling up with AquaGen's Wave Donut technology, which combines wave and tidal power for greater output. With this upgrade, we can expand our Blue Energy Reef into a larger, more effective ecosystem. But we can't do it alone - we need your support to make this vision a reality. Together, we can create a network of living, growing reefs that protect coastlines, sustain marine life and fight climate change.</p>
