Help Us Support The Sea Base’s Coral Restoration Effort
Florida’s Coral Reef, the third largest in the world is dying due to pollution, changes in water quality and human impact. The reef is home to thousands of species of marine life, plays an important role in protecting the coast from Tropical Storms and produces oxygen which we breath. But all is not lost, the Sea Base Coral Restoration program is growing and planting coral on the reef to rebuild this critical part of our ocean environment. Through a process of fragmentation (which speeds up the coral’s growth), coral is grown in a nursery until ready to be planted on the ocean. The Sea Base coral nursery will grow up to 10,000 corals each year which Scouts will help grow, care for and plant on the reef. It costs approximately $35 to grow, care for and plant each coral. Support the cause today!
