The wires are part of highly original and ambitious underwater experiment: the use of low-voltage electrical current to stimulate regrowth in a badly damaged coral reef. Conceived by coral expert Tom Goreau of the United States and German architecture professor Wolf Hilbertz, the project began four years ago and has already achieved remarkable results.
Covering a total length of nearly 1,000 feet, the Karang Lestari Project -- "coral preservation" in Indonesian -- is the world's largest coral nursery ever built using this technology.
