🌊 Protect the ocean with SSI:
- Avoid touching marine life.
- Join clean-up dives.
- Use reef-safe sunscreen.
Every dive makes a difference! 💙

CORAL REEF RESEARCH NEWS: Shallow waters and fast currents boost Elkhorn Coral restoration
phys.org/news/2025-01-shallo…
To help rare elkhorn corals survive in Florida waters, coral researchers should place them in shallow ocean locations with fast currents, scientists at the University of Miami NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies and the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science explained in a paper, "Reef site and habitat influence effectiveness of Acropora palmata restoration and its microbiome in the Florida Keys" published on November 11, 2024, in Communications Earth & Environment.
This new insight offers valuable guidance for coral restoration efforts, since elkhorn coral colonies are a key reef-building species throughout Florida and the Caribbean. They play a crucial role in providing structural support to reefs and habitat for many reef species due to their complex branch-like shape.

The worst is happening. Spot fires are jumping a mile+ downwind and it quickly becomes its own inferno. Evacuations are happening and traffic is gridlocked. Structures are burning

Reefs are the foundation of ocean ecosystems, providing homes for fish like this orange filefish (Aluterus schoepfii) spotted in our coral nursery! 🪸 We’re focused on rebuilding coral reefs to support thriving, sustainable marine life. #CoralRestoration
Jimmy Simpson retweeted
Even the ocean’s toughest corals can’t do it alone. They need all of us—supporters, scientists, & ocean advocates—to stand with them and fuel their recovery.
Donate today to keep these warriors thriving & protect our reefs for the future.

Adult Blue Tangs (Acanthurus coeruleus) are always blue, but their juveniles are yellow. However, some juveniles stay yellow for several months, while others change into their blue coloration weeks after settling on the reef. One thing is certain though, both are beautiful!

Coral nurseries, like this one at the Little Cayman Hope Spot, are used to grow and propagate corals, in hopes they can be "planted" onto a reef, thus helping coral conservation and health!

Juvenile Yellowtail Damselfish (Microspathodon chrysurus) are always a challenge to photograph. They live in habitats of high complexity and swim very fast in and out of cracks and holes on the reef. But when you get a good shot, you can see that they are simply stunning.

FUN FACT: Corals are living creatures that often exist in compact colonies and build up coral reefs. The largest reef in the world is the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Learn more: bit.ly/2Ms4u4K

🪸Coral reefs are essential ecosystems, providing homes for marine life and protecting coastlines against waves, floods, and storms. 🌊
Protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 is important to preserve the health of coral reefs and those who depend on them. Learn more about the Bloomberg Ocean Initiative’s work to conserve the ocean: bloombg.org/3WexyfU

#SundaySpecies: this cute little fish is a juvenile frogfish, and it will grow up to be a camouflage master!
Frogfish live in coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region, and can change their color and pattern depending on their surroundings.
