Global goals
Certain aquatic species, such as coral, are highly sensitive to water temperature and sunlight. Therefore, when sunlight is too intense, an automatic sunshade can deploy, and it retracts when light levels are insufficient. Additionally, when the water temperature rises too high, cool water is introduced to reduce the temperature.
Coral reefs in many regions are facing survival challenges due to tourism or pollution. By using this equipment in large-scale outdoor rehabilitation sites, we can reduce rehabilitation costs and improve the survival rate of corals. Since coral's food source, algae, is highly sensitive to light, and coral itself is sensitive to temperature, this system helps regulate both light and temperature effectively.
