In a bold move to restore Florida's coastal waters, the state aquarium will grow 5,000 baby corals over two years. "These new corals represent a lifeline for Florida's reef," said Keri O'Neil, director of the Coral Conservation Program for The Florida Aquarium, per WTSP.com. Their support is helping us not only spawn more corals — we're building hope for the reef and for future generations." "It could be because they are young and maybe just stronger, or because they weren't in the ocean as long as other corals." The work joins forces with groups in key marine areas: the Florida Keys sanctuary and Kristin Jacobs preserve.
