Thank you for not using PVC 🌊🦈🤗

For anyone reading this… PVC plumbing pipes are probably the most commonly used artificial structure, which is tragically saddening. One person sees another person’s pretty looking post and then duplicates the process. But know first what is happening.

PVC renders coral infertile. So as you see the individual grow, that’s all they will be, an individual colony. It cannot spawn to spread throughout the reef. Thus eventually dooming it to eventual death or who knows 😳🤔

PVC releases doxin into the water as it breaksup, polluting the ocean and furthur contributing to the deterioration of coral reefs 😭😭😭 and the world’s environment.

There is an up side here though, you don’t need to waste any money to buy these manmade materials. Coral naturally grow in the ocean, right, and they do not grow as well on man made garbage. Just find old coral skeletons to attach fragments to and they grow. Use plugging, which is just putting a piece into a hole and using a small dead coral piece to stabilize it. That’s how simple real restoration can be!
