Scientists have created fake coral to rid the ocean of mercury pollution

The ever-rising mercury level of the ocean is one of the most well-documented and well-known instances of pollution out there, and yet little has been done to actually reverse the damage that’s being done. This is something that a group of Chinese scientists want to change with some new “fake coral” that posses metal-absorbing properties that could rid the ocean of the industrial waste that has been choking out and poisoning sea life for decades.
