Hello,
I am always reading stuff on the environmental chalenges to reefs around the world and keep wondering if there is anything we reefers, or a club can do to help. I just read this nice article about one of our hobby suppliers who IS doing something about it, growing from his life long hobby and trade to research and restoration, to make a difference. What a Guy!!

I keep wondering what we hobbyists, with all our enthusiasm, time and resources might be able to do. Reef health, Being all about the water, i wonder if we could learn to culture things that clean the water in bays, and reefs. our fuges are mini bay systems of grasses and plants. Grow oysters that filter the water? sea grasses? clean our tanks and seed a bay or reef?
Any Ideas? Other resources to share? After all, Science is fun, too!
Just food for thought and maybe a little discussion.
Good article.
