The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is pleased to announce the semi-finalists in our 2022 Science Without Borders® Challenge! This international student art contest engages students in important ocean issues through art. For this year’s competition, students were asked to illustrate one or more actions people can take to protect coral reefs using a “Ridge to Reef”conservation approach.
Entries to the Science Without Borders® Challenge are judged in two categories based on age. Here are the semi-finalists selected from the younger group of applicants, students 11-14 years old:
"Use LED Lights to Stimulate Coral Fluorescence" by Yeeun Yang, Age 13, Taiwan
Scientists have established coral reef conservation areas to cultivate coral seedlings to help albines reef breeding. Divers regularly go to the sea to visit them. The wavelength of a specific blue LED light can make domesticated corals emit fluorescence. The fluorescence of corals must be in a low-light or lightless environment. Only by using a blue light source to make the bright coral fluorescence appear. Use LED lights to help their fluorescent system restore protection. Mechanism, and use color cards to detect the recovery of their colors. I believe that through people's efforts, coral reefs will restore its original colorful colors!
