Just curious, what types of seagrass are they trying to plant? They mention heat resistant coral too, which I am particularly interested in (outside of tidepool varieties). Have they isolated any coral species that are accustomed to the phosphate/nitr*te issues from human waste and fuels?

Haha that reminds me of Neal Stephenson's "nitrates, nitrites, nitrotes and nitrutes".

Right now they're focused on the robotics/automation side of things. "Seedlings" come from several different partner organizations.

Big fan of Neal Stephenson :) take care of yourself, hope your friends do well

Edit: Guess I have to get Diamond Age in audiobook today, just noticed it missing from my collection.

Is the idea to use some kind of underwater robot to plant reefs? I couldn’t tell from the website.

That’s awesome! Happy to lend any ML/infra expertise to this effort
