Coral Cooling Pod
My name is Addam Lockley and I have invented the Coral Cooling Pod which is designed to chill sea water.
The Pod is designed to prevent Coral Bleaching on a small scale on shallow water reefs. The Coral Cooling Pod pumps water into the unit and then pumps the cooler water out at the bottom of the unit on to the coral to prevent coral bleaching without harming marine life. As the Oceans get warmer coral reefs are being bleached around the world. The Great Barrier Reef is suffering bleaching events due to warmer sea temperatures due to climate change.
The Coral Cooling Pod runs on solar and wind energy and has storage batteries to store power to ensure the pod continues to run.
The funds raised will be utilised to build two prototypes and test them at a designated area where bleaching has occurred on The Great Barrier Reef.
Coral bleaching has already impacted approximately 40% of The Great Barrier Reef. I have so much love for the ocean and the creatures that live in it and want to do everything possible to conserve and protect it. Any support is much appreciated and possibly could save our reefs and marine life before it is to late. Not only will the oceans benefit, human life will benefit as we need healthy oceans to have a healthy environment and a sustainable future.
To be able to build and test these units would mean the world to me and provide hope that technology may be able to reverse the current bleaching and prevent future bleaching.
