Its ridiculous that people don't realize how important the reefs are, out of sight, out of mind. This channel deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. I really enjoyed watching this, props my friend. Keep up the good work!

[MrBRRS]

Protect our buffers and our life support systems. Keep up the good work all :)

[ooooneeee]

Thank you for your hard work, Charlie and colleagues ❤️. This is vital for the future of our oceans.

[Jane_lotus]

Why are these types of videos so underrated, I wish people would learn more about this

[BlackMantaPhotography]

Such a good video - really great work 👏🏼

[ritastmartin]

I wanted too become a marine biologist someday and this is one of the reasons why.

[agnusdei]

We are planning to continue simple projects here in the Philippines together with my small group of friends.Is there any online seminar or papers that we can access so our plan will be more effective? Thank you!

[reynarodriguez]

I have a question. Won't the rust of the metal racks eventually affect them? Thanks for the info.

[joycecristobal]

You should check tubataha reef in the Philippines if we can still save it. I heard a wide coral bleaching in the area.

[laurensrodi]

I haven't seen any credible study or theory that would result in reducing the temperature of the atmosphere or ocean. More so than factors like proximity to the sun, earths orbit.
After the last ice age, the earth and oceans were warmer than they are now, how did coral and coastal marine life survive that period?

[gayalux]

Why not creating marine national parks? No fishing and no entry unless guided by a marine national expert for educational purposes.

[novemharrison]

arent corals reefs gonna recover in 2050 most people at that time will already be using renewable energy

[pingweihshan]

Cool vid. We humans are a horrible species :/

I guess you are aware that the next 30 years of climate are locked in. So, I guess that you are also aware that your work is in vain, so kudos to you for doing it just because it's the right thing to do.

Corals will be fine, just not in the next thousands of years. They survived previous mass extinctions and they're preparing to sail through this one. All the pretty corals in the reefs will go puff but in the deep the non-photosynthetic corals will survive and they will reclaim the surface waters once this has passed.
