Rehabilitating coral reefs damaged by bleaching
Organization information
Coral Reef CPR Corporation
Location: Sandy Spring, United States of America
Summary
This project will create coral nurseries and outplant 15,000 corals onto degraded reefs in small island developing countries. Through involvement of local communities and visitors, coral branches that would otherwise die are rescued from construction and dredging sites and from coral predators and are grown to large colonies. Nursery-reared corals provide habitat for reef fish, restore reef health, address climate change, while offering new conservation opportunities for community participants.
