This partnership is a testament to the incredible power of the AZA community. All of our participating facilities are doing critical work to save Florida's coral reefs. The Florida Coral Rescue Center is an amazing addition to the team! ow.ly/WXnN50EpMha

Highly trained staff at AZA-accredited facilities provide care for over 800,000 animals, including endangered & government-owned species like rescued Florida corals. Urge Congress to provide funds for zoos and aquariums hit hard by COVID-19. bit.ly/HelpZoosAndAquariums

Corals are a beautiful and important part of our ocean, but have you ever wondered how they reproduce? Watch our video about #CoralSpawning! go.usa.gov/xfU2D

To stay healthy, corals secrete a slimy coat of mucous containing microorganisms that defend against disease. The work of @zoos_aquariums facilities is helping corals most successful at this defense thrive, so they can help restore the Florida Reef Tract.
ALT The Riverbanks Zoo is one of 18 AZA accredited facilities around the country participating in coral rescue as part of AZA's Florida Reef Tract Rescue Project. To date, more than 1700 corals have found homes at AZA facilities. These corals will help restore the reef in the future.
In recognition of #NationalZooKeeperWeek we want to share some of the faces of @zoos_aquariums aquarists on the front line of coral rescue. #AZACoralRescue wouldn't be possible without these Coral Rescue Heroes! @MyFWC @NOAACoral @FloridaKeysNMS @FLDEPNews

This is why sharks are so important for oceans - and why they must be protected!
Great conservation efforts of @zoos_aquariums rescue coral holding facility, @ColumbusZoo. Thanks for your dedication to our blue planet!

"Columbus is one of nearly two dozen AZA-accredited facilities involved in the long-term coral project; but that project is just one of more than 100 conservation projects in over 40 different countries that the facility is engaged in right now." More: ow.ly/JLYF50Atgdp
