Wow! Did not realize the amount of O2 the ocean contributes to the planet.

There are so many admirable aspects of this work. Very informative website - their coral monitoring initiative is important to potentially restoring reef populations:
“Peanut Island’s artificial reefs have been growing and propagating coral since 2005. The Reef Institute is identifying fish and coral previously unobserved this far north on the Florida Reef Tract.” That’s awesome! Subscribed.

Reading about all of the community outreach and awareness efforts is awesome. Keep up the great work for our reefs.

Coral reefs are literally the building blocks of the ocean. Almost everything needs the reef to either grow or get food. Reefs are used as navigational markers to turtles and other marine life.

Some of my favorite corals are zoas!!
