FLORIDA KEYS Staghorn Coral Nursery WATERWAYS Part 2 mpg

A resource manager dreams of a day when growing corals is as easy as growing a bougainvillea plant on land. Underwater coral nurseries could help maintain the wild populations. Furthering those hopes, Kelly Nedimyer, the daughter of a local marine life collector, galvanizes a group of young divers to cultivate a nursery for Staghorn corals. Staghorn coral is an important reef-building-branching-coral that has seen more than 90% mortality in the last 10 years in the Florida Keys. Part 2

I am very interested on how to begin or help with an aquaculture project. I live in Miami and have experience propagating corals in my own aquarium and hope to move to the keys within the next two years.
