  • Coral Restoration Foundation, located in Key Largo, Florida, operates the largest coral-reef-restoration program in the world. Jessica Levy, its director of restoration strategy, explains how coral-reef health has an effect on our entire planet and walks us through the steps Coral Restoration Foundation takes to bring reefs back from the brink of extinction.

    If the corals are dying due to change in pH, is this a futile exercise?

    • @CoralRestorationFoundation
      @CoralRestorationFoundation ปีที่แล้ว +24

      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.

    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.

    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?

    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?

    • @CoralRestorationFoundation
      @CoralRestorationFoundation ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.
