Ocean Bots: Learn about and hopefully contribute to the development of these diving robots intended to help repair the world's damaged coral reefs. Donation funding has shifted to
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/restoring-coral-reefs-with-robots
Click on the link above, most especially if you pledged during the KickStart drive. That drive did not meet its stated goal and as a result no funds were awarded. The shift to the Indiegogo system breaks the fund raising into smaller increments. If everyone who pledged at KickStart repledges at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/restoring-coral-reefs-with-robots we would immediately exceed the Indiegogo goal by several thousand dollars and the funds would be quickly forwarded into bot development.
We have checked out both coral reef restoration techniques and the bot and can assure you both are on sound scientific footing. Reefs can be restored but it is diver labor intensive. Bots can replace divers and both reduce the expense of a project and increase speed of restoration. More reefs restored in shorter time at less expense. It all starts when you click here to make a pledge:

Interestingly we didn't find the Coral-bot story in the maritime trade journals but on the Google circles site of actress Jeri Ryan. Jeri backs the Bot. We can confirm its good science and achievable technology and that it will help revolutionize coral reef restoration

JERI BACKS THE BOT . SO DOES NAMAZU
To Paraphrase Jeri's early character the "Borg" 7 of 9":
"BACK THE BOT....RESISTANCE IS FUTILE"
