Restoring Florida's Dying Coral Reefs | Refurbished | Insider 
Наука
I don’t know if you guys hear this much but THANK YOU for taking care of things that some of us (including me) put in the back of our minds. I wish I could be there to help but you guys have it covered! ❤❤❤ God bless you
I saw a 5 year Timelapse from Bali using a different method. The results are real & amazing. Everything comes back.
Swam these reefs as a child and could always see the decay in stages. At one point only the strong and hearty brain coral were strong enough to even survive. Super stoked to see we’re restoring our Everglades and Coral reef
Fantastic work. Inspirational. Bless you all.
Great work. I want to help.
This is amazing! Thank you.
If the corals are dying due to change in pH, is this a futile exercise?
Despite the ongoing threat to coral reefs from climate change and ocean acidification there is still hope, and there is every need to continue to work to restore damaged coral reef ecosystems.
Despite warming waters and increasing ocean acidification, the corals we are outplanting are thriving. Many of our older outplants are now spawning, which demonstrates that they are healthy- in order for corals to spawn, they must have energy available to do so.
This success is likely due to a few main factors:
1) Many of the local stressors which contributed to the decline in these coral populations have now been abated
2) It is likely that the wild coral genotypes that provided the initial parent stock for our operations are hardy, having withstood decades of multiple stressors. Their persistence in the wild until a decade ago indicates that these genotypes are resilient and probably capable of eventually adapting to increasingly dynamic environmental conditions.
3) Diverse ecosystems are resilient to stressors. By ensuring that we are working to support the reefs’ natural diversity, we are giving coral reefs a better chance of adapting to changing environmental conditions.
Saving coral reefs requires action at multiple levels. While organizations work to curb carbon emissions, it is essential that we work to maintain viable wild coral populations that will have a chance to recover once we mitigate the effects of climate change, including ocean acidification.
@@CoralRestorationFoundation Interesting. Thanks for responding! Glad it seems to be having a sustained impact.
Would old iron boats or iron barges be a benefit to growing corral in and placing them in desired places around the Keys
This made my day! Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. ❤
Great work but sad that it had to be done.
Great job..!! Thank you for the update, Insider..!!
Thank you so much for this work.
If I ever win the lottery, I’m donating 90% to this cause.
Are those corals acropora coral?
Btw, thank you so much for saving the Florida coral reef! I have a fish tank with corals and when I got them, I feel happy, happier than before. My corals mean a lot to me.
I took an environmental science class and my instructor made us watch chasing coral in 2016. It’s so refreshing to see the progress in what they’ve done then in 2016 till now in 2024. This makes me so happy seeing the updates of what they’ve done to restore the reefs.
I really love the idea of an offshore coral nursery. Especially at that scale sounds amazing. It sounds way better than the idea I had of a warehouse full of aquacultured corals to put in the ocean 😂
Thank you so much. All of you are the best.
This made my dayy 👏keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️🌟
Cool Work Team.. Thanks
thank you for doing this work! hope we have something similar in the philippine reefs.
You do Good work guys. God Bless You
Beautiful 👌
Thank you, great work & the content I like to see!
An acre and a half wide coral nursery is the biggest in the world kind of saddened me
I have been diving in the Florida Keys for 40 years. So very sad to watch the reefs die !
It is so good to have hope!
Amazing work! Keep it up!
awesome work, thanks to you guys 🎉
How do I apply to work with coral restoration?
Thank you for doing this!! 🙏🏻 The reef coral have lost thier vibrant colour! 💔
What about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia?
we probably nearly killed that too :)
She said in the video that even there it's on decline
Sounds like Australia needs to get on the ball and start restoring their dying coral reefs too, instead of sitting back and being passive as they watch it further decline!
@@mividalocastudio9366You should google what they’re doing in Australia. Nobody’s sitting back and watching the reefs die. Where did you get that from?
@@mividalocastudio9366they’re doing a better job than America
Thank you so much for saving our planet. We need to stop driving cars!!
Thank you God Bless you and your efforts
Greet they are restoring the coral reefs when other dont do it and good work restoring coral reefs for it helps animals to🎉🎉❤❤😊😊🎉 and help the eco system
Thanks guys
Can't wait to hear about current events
Right on❕
Environmental restoration should be given to pentagon, with their unlimited budget they would turn entire earth from blue to green.
The Pentagon is too busy sending billions of our taxpayer money over to Ukraine
Watching this made my eyes all watery.
Thank you! Excellent review of biology. I do outreach education and this priceless.
Only 2% of our reefs left in Fl thats horrific. On a bright note I was fishing a grass flat near Marathon last year and their was a ton of what appeared to be Stylophora growing in the very shallow water I was fishing near the fast moving water from a nearby bridge.
I really want to be involved and I live in Miami Beach Fl what can I do to be part of restoring the reefs. I want to physically help also restore them
Woo amazing video
thank you for sharing
Amazing work ❤
Keep up the good work and thank you!
Thank you
Bless your hearts❤️❤️❤️
How do these coral farms survive hurricanes and other storms?
Just fiine actually, record ocean temps however have thoroughly destroyed the entire project.
Thank you❤
Keep up the great work 🥲
Very cool 😃
? What did last summer’s record warm water temperatures do ?
Amazing job ❤
Fantastic.
Much respect.
Good job...💕🤙
Doings Gods work! Well done
Thanks🌱🌱🌱🗻🗻🗻🗻
Why does it grow on their trees and not naturaly on the reef?
What is the pressure on the coral?
Before the solution, what is the cause of the problem? Is it the lionfish, water temperature, pollution, etc?
If it's again the water temperature that is blamed then coral should start to grow north were they don't usually, is that the case, why not?
This is dope
Interesting
Good job 👍🏻
I hope things are improving now, but hear the ocean temperature high this el nino
Fantastic
Thank you so much. I wish more understood the importance of these ecosystems and the collapse of that Ecological system. Thank you. I hope more humans become educated on our individual impacts and what we can change for a better future.
Asexual reproduction is a great way to reseed reefs quickly but we need to fund research and facilities for sexual reproduction of keystone coral species.
I for one am obsessed with everything coral and missed my calling in being a Marine Biologist.
Profits over the planet and its inhabitants has to change.
Restoring disappearing corals
Respect ❤
Eutrophication among else happening? Seems you're aware about substantial factors & influences need recognize, address & resolve. Looks like this has a good chance with your involvement😁 Is that an appropriate Coral for that area, is there some flexibility & able sustain instead merely harvest & introduce? Any water chemistry monitored? Characterized any more marine communities around the area & their respective ecology? As recognized & potentially resolved, the near shore & human encroached areas are overtly affected although more Coral & Cnidaria still abound depend upon where observed beside beyond & avoid anthro imposed issues.
Only for it to be destroyed by bleaching this summer. So sad
This will mean nothing if we don’t actually fix the problems, humanity
Ohhh nooooo. A mono culture. Really? I hope the mothers are strong and resilient.
How to join your tea

Some good news in 2023. Out of curiosity, why is only the same species of coral being grown, rather than try to build more biodiversity?
We work wiith 1,305 putative coral genotypes across 20 species!
Right now we have the capacity to return populations of staghorn (Acropora cervicornis) elkhorn (Acropora palmata) and two species of boulder coral (Orbicella faveolata and Obricella annularis). Staghorn and elkhorn are listed on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species as “Critically Endangered”, one step away from “Extinct in the Wild”. They are also both listed as threatened under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). In future years we will continue to raise and return diverse populations of corals to the wild. We value the importance of biodiversity because we know diverse ecosystems are resilient to stressors. By ensuring that we are working to support the reefs’ natural diversity, we are giving coral reefs a better chance of adapting to changing environmental conditions.
@@CoralRestorationFoundation Talk about thorough replies. Thanks! It's either way interesting to read about.
Chinese should be efforts like this to restore our coral that they damage it to make the military artificial island in misreef reef and shabina shoal part of our EEZ ..
Hawaii ocean coral reef are disappearing
First
And you wasted it!!
Wow that’s incredible. do they rotate mothers to maintain biodiversity when propagating them? Seriously a dream of a job
You are doing God’s work thank you

Example of heart in the right place, but unfortunately not even close to nature and will either fail or have unintended negative consequences. I think really need to adress diversity of the coral they grow. I also think it's a problem basically making one giant coral reef that is all a clone. I would compare it to a wheat field thafs all genetically the same. 1 pest etc. And it's all dead very quickly. Lol I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this comment. Just think we as humans need to do more to try and understand before we jump in try to help.
Yes because whenever humans try to do something artificial about the ecosystem it always turns out well…
95 % of it died last year.
Yeshua our Creator will restore the coral reefs during his milinial Kingdom.
Good idea pollute the ocean with epoxy
So corney. One acre really. How do you make your money.
This is the job I want!
💀🪸🔥
Get back to us in another 5 months when temperatures drop below 90-100 degrees. 😱💥
Very regrettably, you're absolutely correct.
Thank you
Thank you
