Saving Coral Reefs | Coral Restoration Foundation

Today we’re visiting the Coral Restoration Foundation, the largest reef restoration organisation in the world.

Coral reefs are some of the most essential ecosystems in the world, but they’re also one of the most endangered. To help fight for coral reefs, organisations around the world are developing methods and technology to ensure that these lungs of the ocean have a bright future.

Coral reefs provide habitats, food, and protection to over 25% of all marine species, and support more than 300 million people in communities across the world. With the threats of climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and biodiversity loss, coral reefs are disappearing at alarming rates. Here in Florida, running from north of Miami to the south of Key West over ___ miles, lies Florida’s coral reef, the third largest Barrier Reef in the world, and only one within the continental United States.

This is exactly why I want to become a marine biologist. Corals are so wonderful and important, which is why we need to join hands in helping in their restoration.

Very well done and so very important for all of us . After volunteering at the Riverhead Marine foundation in Rivrhead long island N.Y. . I learned great appreciation for wildlife and just how important it is . Now in the philippines with my wife have taken on the responsibility of keeping long stretches of beach clean . After two years of picking up trash I will still fill up a large bag of trash each week swimming every day . Plastic needs to go or change packaging .
Biology classes that intertwine beach clean up works great . Eastern long island has a program like this and beaches look a lot better than years past .
