5th Biorock Workshop - 2006.mp4

That was the first time the Biorock workshop was held in the small Gili's Archipelago, aka "The 3 Gilis".
Located north of Lombok island (the sister island of Bali) in Indonesia. This Biorock workshop happens there since that time, every 2 years. The 7th Biorock Workshop was held last November 2010.
Next one will be November 2012... Stay tuned.

But what is Biorock?

Well... The BioRock Process (mineral accretion) is a revolutionary technology used to grow and preserve marine ecosystems.
It provides a cost-effective and sustainable method to accelerate coral growth and increase coral survival particularly in areas where environmental stress has affected existing reefs.
BioRock methods can help restore damaged coral reefs and provide building materials from sustainable energy resources for aquaculture of corals, oysters, clams, lobsters and fish.
BioRock technology has already been applied in around 20 islands worldwide and has been shown to increase coral growth rates from 3 to 5 times their normal rate.
It increases coral survival under higher water temperatures and pollution by 16 to 50 times.
It keeps corals alive where they would die, grows reefs where corals cannot recover naturally and turns severely eroding atoll island beaches into growing ones within a few years.
