The picturesque Lakshadweep is in news again. And this time it is for coral spawning seen around the island and being recorded for the first time. Also known as sex-on-the-reef, this indeed is great news and an assurance that the coral and marine systems are co-existing happily and healthily together.
Extinct Corals make Gujarat Coasts their Home once again
For the first time in the country, beginning a new phase in species conservation, fragments of locally extinct coral reefs have been trans-located and re-introduced in the coastal waters of Gujarat. The corals were collected from Lakshwadeep and relocated 1500 kms away to the coast town of Mithapur.
