**Excellent video** So well made, detailed, enjoyable, informative, great music. Thank you for making this, it's important.
Wow, I watch it with the tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful thing to do. Some people just praying to the god of money and destroying everything, other are planting corals
Thnx fer helping the world be better
THANK YOU
Since the ocean is becoming more acidic dissolving the calcium that corals need, have you considered making an anchored latticework made of interlaced bones from the meat industry, shells collected from restaurants that consume oysters, mussels clams and with eggshells at the center and fixing the coral on these structures to make artificial reefs ? This would supply calcium and places to adhere to.
It seemed to me that whenever artificial inlets are made, if such artificial structures with corals were to be installed, it would over time become a reef and strengthen them against erosion. Some companies specialized in underwater structures are starting to work on a cement mixture that is friendly to the local sea life by tweaking the cement recipes and making sure the outer layer isn't smooth but rough with indentation to help coral fix itself upon it. Then successive generations of it would add strength by adding progressive layers of limestone on it.
Thank you for your thoughtful question, Jacques! While we cannot comment on if there is any research on using bones for artificial reef structure, we can share that this is significant research being conducted by groups (like us!) to investigate the applications of cement use for coral restoration. Our initial results have shown that using cement for outplanting corals is less expensive, more efficient, and produces the same growth/survivorship compared to other methods (epoxy/nail & zip tie). In fact, we will be submitting a publication for peer review shortly to share our results! Please follow us @rescueareef to learn more and stay updated- thank you, Jacques!
Thank you , this was an awesome production . Thank you
Thanks for your work. Really inspired
Are they making any effort to plant more resistant corals that won't just bleach and die next time a heat wave comes around?
Yes, we certainly are! Great question. We are both identifying more thermally tolerant coral genotypes/species while also researching novel techniques to stress-harden them. Stress-hardening means deliberately exposing the corals to high temperature and/or light environments to induce bleaching and then allow recovery. This creates a more hardy, resilient individual! So with all of this information, we can create coral reefs better prepared for climate change!
@@rescueareefprogram1601 wow good to hear. Micro fragmenting is cool. The philippines need this most of the beaches in shallow water are barren with no coral now.
If your corals die that fast even in a home aquarium, something major is happening, your comment makes it seem you don’t understand
@@rescueareefprogram1601 are there any research being done on using the CRISPR gene technology to make corals more resilient?
Great job.
Very cool video. Learned a lot. Thanks.
hope these guys are doing well.. than you for doing this..
Thank you for this! It was so insightful
We are so glad you enjoyed the video, Elyon!
Wow....Excellent work.....
Thank You!!💖
Please do not use regular sunscreen when you are in the ocean. It’s components kill the corals as well. Use mineral reef friendly sunscreen based on zinc oxide.
Fantastic!
Excellent 👌
im from the virgin islands and seen the decline over the years. very sad.
Thank you all for your kind words and support! We were so thankful to team up with Waterlust for this project and look forward to future collaborations with their group. For more information about our coral restoration research and how to join, please visit www.rescueareef.com!
Hey I'm from indonesia,i really want to participate to restore my beautiful reed it sad many of them bleached what can i help?
Look at the Coral Gardeners channel, there you can see what you can do to help
Some of the best ways to contribute to coral reef conservation and restoration is actually through actions as the individual and community level! Making more reef-conscientious decisions to lower your carbon (and coral) footprint are key to restoration the future of coral reefs. Learn more at: oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/thingsyoucando.html
I don't know squat. Wouldn't it be better to grow the new coral in place? Perhaps drop a concrete road barracade or even a steel framework with holes drilled in it to be a framework and then attach the coral to it? I know that old boats and ships are sometimes sunk to be a framework.
It’s a combination. The fragmentation process in the lab causes the coral to grow much faster than if they just left it in the ocean (which feels counter intuitive to us, but it’s true!) so there are speed benefits there. But once the corals are fragmented and strong enough, they plant them permanently on the reef.
It seems to be difficult to stabilize the coral fragments at the ocean base. I wonder if easier ways could be find to help diverse perform this valuable work more efficiently.
There will be, we need to create more innovative ways to help stabilise coral fragments and put an end to coral bleaching.
I want to restore the coral reef of saint martin.will it be possible? what will be the approximate time and cost needed?
It looks like there is a group already working on coral reef research and restoration in your area! Learn more here: naturefoundationsxm.org/research/coral-restoration/
Can we genetically modify the algae to live in hotter climates as a temporary solution?
SAVE THE WORLD!!! I'm here for it %100
Can I plant my own coral garden offshore? Is that legal?
cool, do you know if there is something similar at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia?
Try contacting James Cook University for more info.
Can they restore all coral reefs so they all won't get killed by a heat wave next time it comes around the ocean?
Very nice video, my friend wants to do something similar down by where he lives, he has a beach house in mexico on the front row and he was thinking on trying to make a reef because he loves the ocean, does anyone know if that's a good idea? and if so where can you buy coral native there?
Hi, very late reaction but i would not recommend that! if there are no reefs in that area, the water is probably unsuitable for reefs. It could be that the water flow is too fast, there is too little sunlight, or the fish eat corals faster than they can grow etc. etc. He could try to volunteer on a near project if he wants to help though!!
@@starlight444 thanks for the reply, yeah it's something similar to what I mentioned to him but also as you said its better to participate in a project. He hasn't done anything yet though
The Eco system of under water and of land must grow simultaneously so that in future it became naturally sustained
I’m only 13, can i do it?
How does someone make this a career? I would love to lend a hand
Check out the Coral Gardeners channel they make a real change and you can help by adopting a coral
We are always looking for motivated individuals interested in lending a hand! Please visit www.rescueareef.com for more information on how to join- thank you!
I would love to join! How can i?
Could someone explain how coral has been around from millions of years through much higher temperatures than now but can't tolerate less severe temperatures
Is that frame made of plastic.
Hey! Can i be a volunterr with you? Love corals and diving)
What's being d one about the Algae side of things?
@@Waterlust I have heard about the nutrient runoff being related to Algae before but I never knew where it was happening nor how bad it is.
Hopefully Florida can make changes in time and others follow their example.
Thanks for your reply.
I Learned that coral being farmed on the land and then Go into the the sea are not on successful, apparently corals have to be planted at the same depth that they stared growing ...from fragments, so therefore a PVC tree in the sea then Planting the coral at the same depth as the coal tree.
Nice program but the music is way too loud and distracting.
🧘♀️
👍🏻👍🏻👱♀️
Nice. Plant corals by tying it to the sea floor with a plastic cable tie. Save the corals, let someone else save the turtles.
The sea sponge are important for building a better eco system and for better biodiversity

Kindly introduced the species to the repopulate ecosystem according to evolutionary system use sound therapy electronic for avoiding miscalculation until nature sustain herself at the build Coral reefs, keep unnecessary human interface is mandatory

Can coral be subjected modification? Like gmo. They grow slow. What if the coral modify it to grow so fast that it become a pest 😂
Bleach=sad
Seems like a gimmick to help people feel good more than it can actually help. If the naturally occurring coral is dying the “planted” coral will die too for exactly the same reasons.
SOFT background music is acceptable. HOWEVER banging those stupid drums is NOT!!
