Huawei helps Mauritius 'reforest' coral reefs

PORT LOUIS — Off the east coast of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, not far from Pointe aux Feuilles, sit a number of coral nurseries.

Coral fragments collected from various places are cultivated here, and when the corals have matured they will be transplanted to a degraded area of reef ecosystem, thus realizing reforestation under the sea.

The project is being jointly undertaken by Chinese technology company Huawei and the Mauritius-based nongovernmental environmental protection group EcoMode Society.
