Southern Cross University's Peter Harrison headed up the study, which took place off of Australia's east coast.

南十字星大學的彼得-哈里森上司了這項研究，這項研究發生在澳洲東海岸附近。

I'm really excited.

我真的很興奮。

We've just been over to the site in Heron Island Lagoon, where we put larvae onto certain parts of the reef in 2016, and we've found a lot of very large corals that have grown from those larvae.

我們剛剛去過鷺島瀉湖的現場，我們在2016年把幼蟲放到了珊瑚礁的某些地方，我們發現了很多非常大的珊瑚，是從這些幼蟲長出來的。

So this proves that the level restoration technique works.

所以，這證明了水準恢復技術是有效的。

Justus, we predicted on we could grow very large corals from tiny microscopic larvae within just a few years.

賈斯圖斯，我們預測我們可以在短短几年內 從微小的微觀幼蟲長出非常大的珊瑚。

The tactic was first used in 2016 were more than 60 corals and now on the way to being the first to be re established on the reef through coral IVF, the new corals varied in diameter, ranging from around an inch to the size of a dinner plate.

2016年首次使用該戰術的是60多隻珊瑚，現在正在通過珊瑚試管嬰兒在珊瑚礁上重新建立，新珊瑚的直徑不一，從一寸左右到餐盤大小不等。

Tests showed them to be healthy that despite a severe bleaching event that hit Heron Island in March, bleaching occurs when hot or water destroys the algae, which corals feed on, causing them to turn white A recent study from James Cook University found that the reef had lost more than half of its coral in the past three decades on raised concern that it's less able to recover from mass bleaching events.

測試表明他們是健康的儘管3月份發生了嚴重的漂白事件，襲擊了鷺島，漂白髮生時，熱或水破壞了珊瑚為食的藻類，導致它們變成白色詹姆斯庫克大學最近的一項研究發現，珊瑚礁在過去三十年中失去了一半以上的珊瑚在引起了人們的關注，它不太能從大規模漂白事件中恢復。
