The Role of Positioning in Coral Health

The location and orientation of corals play a crucial role in mitigating bleaching risks. Here are some positioning strategies to optimize coral health.

Depth Matters 

Shallow Water Corals: While these corals receive abundant sunlight, they are more prone to temperature fluctuations and UV radiation.

Deeper Water Corals: Positioned in deeper waters, these corals experience more stable temperatures but less sunlight. Careful placement ensures they receive enough light for photosynthesis without overheating

Shading and Light Management: Some corals thrive under partial shading provided by overhanging structures or taller coral species. This natural sunscreen effect can mitigate the harmful impacts of intense UV radiation.
