I was watching this video, and the first thing that came to mind is how interesting it would be to the solarpunk community. It's the story of a professor and his efforts to make a "cybertecture" island by getting coral reefs to grow on-demand.

This is actually a long known technique and it currently being trailed for creating artificial coral reefs. The corals themselves also seem to have an easier time growing if assisted by electricity.

If I understand the video correctly, the professor in question is the one who created the technique and and is behind the coral reef-building, but his ultimate goal was to create entire artificial islands using it, which could act as cybertecture cities at sea.
