Cyprus pioneers coral conservation project in the Med

They are preparing to enter the crystal-clear waters and attach the samples to a floating nursery, in a pioneering effort in the Mediterranean to help restore a coral population hit by climate change and unsustainable human activity. The small fragments of coral have been kept for several weeks at the east Mediterranean island's Department of Fisheries and Marine Research station. Now they are about to be attached to a net on the underwater nursery some five metres (16 feet) down near Cape Greco.
