Thank you bro for your correction. I too saw that stretch of biodiversity and was impressed by it. Sometimes you get jellyfishes.
Nonetheless back to topic, it is not true as well that our waters cannot culture corals. Our waters are rich with microalgae and if want to, we can do it. However it might not yield the kind of colours we want because of the lack of light penetrating deep depths and with shipping routes criss-crossing all our water channels, it is hard to decide a good and safe culture ground.
However I cannot not say that this area of marine expertise has been reviewed and taken note by our government and they are looking into areas where we can advance, create a market of sorts and expand our economy.
