On this day 20 years ago, @gbrmariepark marine protected areas were increased from 5% to 33% to protect the @UNESCO #WorldHeritage area. #Zoning continues to have numerous benefits in protecting the biodiversity of the #GreatBarrierReef and building its resilience.

It feels morbidly ironic that today, on the 1-year anniversary of our historic investment in #climateaction, is the day we observed mass coral bleaching at our showcase coral restoration site in @BiscayneNPS. Our team is gutted. A heavy reminder that our work is far from done… – at Miami, FL

"It was striking to see how differently these corals are responding. And we know that genotypes respond differently according to reef site, which highlights the importance of restoring genetic diversity - diversity equals resilience." - Jess Levy, CRF™ Dir. Restoration Strategy

What a sight: bleached & partially dead staghorn #coral in Key Largo spawning right on cue! So poignant to see these incredibly stressed corals still helping the population continue. 🥹🪸 Of course, the jury is out on whether their offspring will make it, but so far so good 🤞

The waters surrounding Florida are scorching hot. Experts are deploying numerous measures to protect, relocate, and “bank” live fragments of coral to help Florida’s Coral Reef survive a heat crisis that may last for months. climate.gov/news-features/ev…

This is the beautiful Horseshoe Reef in the Florida Keys. This is climate change in action. But at CRF™ we are now prepping for Phase Two of our coral rescue mission. This is only the beginning.
