This warms my heart to know that someone is doing this for our oceans. Thank you!

[Ava_Orchid]

I am so happy that they are doing this!  I didn't know whether to smile or cry when I saw the fish all gathered in the makeshift reefs,  It seems like they are desperate for their environment to go back to how it should be.  Thank you CRF for taking steps to help make that happen.  Also, thank you Johnathan for bringing this work to our attention.

The fish really seem to like it!

I always like to epoxy the frags on the long flat side in the center. the ends at the growth tips grow the fastest, and you tend to get a lot more encrusting when you attach in the center. I guess for replanting reefs its not a big deal, but I farm corals to help take stress off of wild collected corals for the aquarium hobby, so I need the fastest growth possible from my corals. I love growing coral, and watching the daily growth. My dream job would be growing corals to help replant the coral reefs, and help eliminate the need for coral collection in the wild, and provide 100% farmed corals for aquariums.

loool the rolling off the boat caught me off guard, killed me. Great video made me feel warm and fuzzy to know there are people like Ken out there

[pollyg]

well done Ken, proves one person with drive, and a good idea can make a difference, to say im impressed is a huge understatement, the problem must of seemed insurmountable, yet he went forward and has made a difference

[jimmykabisch]

There are so many old cars. boats, wrecks that if cleaned up provide THE BEST AND FASTUS way to create a reef, a place to house smaller fish and life forms.
