“Thousands of baby corals are now settling onto the Great Barrier Reef in one of the world’s most ambitious reef restoration efforts”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web search results confirm the activity: one mentions hand-raised baby corals being settled onto ceramic devices as part of a three-year program, and another specifically from AIMS mentions delivering 100k baby corals using special tiles and ceramic devices.

“The project, funded largely by the Australian Institute of Marine Science”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the evidence for Claim 0 mentions that the ceramic devices were 'designed by AIMS' (Australian Institute of Marine Science), none of the provided evidence for Claim 1 explicitly confirms that the project is 'funded largely' by AIMS. The evidence for Claim 1 consists mostly of dictionary definitions and general reef descriptions, providing no information on the funding source.
