[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2584, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2020/09/18/saving-coral-florida-keys'][B]Scientists Race Against Time To Save Coral Off Florida Keys - WBUR[/B][/URL] Scientists reached a major breakthrough recently in their efforts to restore coral off the coast of the Florida Keys. Researchers in South Florida have figured out a way to get coral to spawn more rapidly, which is notable because much of the coral in the Florida Reef Tract is dying. Over the last 40 years, [URL='https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/southeast/habitat-conservation/restoring-seven-iconic-reefs-mission-recover-coral-reefs-florida-keys']nearly 90%[/URL] of the live corals that once covered those reefs have died off. Scientists are using a technique called microfragmentation or reskinning to get coral to reproduce, says Sarah Fangman, superintendent of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which is leading a 15-year, $100 million project to restore the coral.
