    REEFSCAPERS Inspires Hope with Coral Propagation Projects

    These photos put a big smile on my face today. Coral propagation is arguably the ultimate restitutive justice that we can provide the ocean’s coral reefs. REEFSCAPERS has been extremely successful in their projects that utilize coral trays, zip ties and fragmented Acropora spp. Read the full story here at Sea Way Blog and REEFSCAPERS. [...]

      Also a very cool idea in terms of form for the less traditional stony keeper. Imagine large organic sculptural forms covered with monocultures of stony corals…

Here’s a link for more info on the Cozumel Reefball project:

      [...] The report also states that 40% of the coral reefs and mangroves in the area have been lost over the past 40 years. However, it says if action is taken on global warming, over fishing, and pollution we can prevent the reef’s collapse. (How about an order of restitutive justice?) [...]
