Summary
| Description |
How do you restore a damaged coral reef? With a nursery! In and around the waters of Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, we work with partners like the Coral Restoration Foundation to regrow coral fragments that have been damaged in events like ship groundings. Floating freely in the water while hung on "trees" made of PVC pipes, the corals receive better water circulation, avoid being attacked by predators such as fireworms or snails, and generally survive at a higher rate.
