Replanting the reef

For those who haven't seen it, the latest edition of Coral Magazine (free online at their website):

http://html5.pagesuite-professional...ne&pubid=b334a533-9e9b-4443-a8b3-12e2db32511a

has a really cool article about the efforts of Ken Nedimeyer and the Coral Restoration Foundation at farming coral frags to use for repopulating failed reefs. It's a really great read and tells a pretty cool story about how one person really can make a huge difference.

On a semi-related note, Ken founded Sea Life Inc, the company my group buy thread is ordering from. It's nice to know you're supporting people involved in a noble cause.

I will have to watch that tonight.

The numbers in the article are staggering (in a positive way). At one point they mention being able to produce 10,000 colonies per year for replanting
