I learned they are trying to sustain the 1% of the coral reefs we have on earth, and to keep aquaculturing coral to put back in the man made reefs.

Subscribed!!! I like how the educate the public about coral reefs, to sustain corals in our oceans!

I found the page where they offer excursions for kids to learn all sorts of things about marine science and the local ecosystem. They have one available on Amelia Island, which is amazing as we were literally just there last week. It’s a beautiful place and I’m super jealous of the kids who get to explore the island and participate in this course.
I think these learning courses are amazing, as one of the BEST ways to preserve our oceans is to teach the younger generations how to avoid damaging them further and conserve/protect what we still have. I’ve found that this younger generation is very open to social justice and environmental causes, and are more willing to not only participate and change their ways to use what they’ve learned and avoid making the same choices that adults have, but also share their new knowledge with others to further the cause. This is how we enact major change!
I also found the course available for high school kids and just asked my 15-year-old if he’d like to go!

Introduction to R2R
I completely get where this is coming from as it is somewhat important to keep species from taking over the species of coral that are naturally already there. I guess as time goes on and we learn more about what can be done naturally to replace and or repair these reefs as they disappear...

Bonus Entry #3 - Wild coral reefs are important to the preservation of the ocean life we all love (fish, corals, microorganisms), they help prevent our shorelines from erosion and are natural protection from large waves.
