多米尼加共和国的科学家正在实验室中施肥珊瑚,以恢复受气候变化损害的珊瑚礁。 Scientists in the Dominican Republic are fertilizing coral in labs to restore reefs damaged by climate change.

在多米尼加共和国,养护者正在利用协助的珊瑚肥化来防治气候变化造成的珊瑚礁损失。 In the Dominican Republic, conservationists are using assisted coral fertilization to combat reef loss from climate change. 在Bayahibe的Fundemar托儿所,科学家在产卵活动中收集珊瑚卵和精子,在实验室施肥,每年生长250多万个胚胎。 At Fundemar’s nursery in Bayahibe, scientists collect coral eggs and sperm during spawning events, fertilize them in labs, and grow over 2.5 million embryos annually. 这些遗传多样性的珊瑚在移植到退化的珊瑚礁之前得到培育,为自然繁殖失败提供了一条生命线。 These genetically diverse corals are nurtured before being transplanted to degraded reefs, offering a lifeline where natural reproduction has failed. 由于70%的珊瑚礁的珊瑚覆盖率不到5%,这种方法与老式克隆技术相比,提高了复原力。 With 70% of reefs having less than 5% coral cover, the method boosts resilience compared to older cloning techniques. 加勒比各地也正在扩大类似的努力,但是,如果不采取全球行动,减少化石燃料排放,遏制海洋变暖,光靠专家强调恢复是无法成功的。 Similar efforts are expanding across the Caribbean, but experts stress restoration alone cannot succeed without global action to reduce fossil fuel emissions and curb ocean warming.
