Ken Nedimyer, President of the Coral Restoration Foundation Inc. a non profit company focused on developing simple, effective, and inexpensive coral nursery and coral restoration techniques that could be duplicated anywhere. Their offshore coral nursery has grown from five corals that settled on his rock in 1996, to over 4,000 corals in March of 2009, and expected to grow to over 7,000 corals by spring of 2010. In 2008 they planted over 200 corals back onto the reef, and are expected to plant over 500 in 2009. In 2009, Ken received permits to start two offshore elkhorn coral nurseries, the first of their kind in the U.S., and he and volunteer divers were busy setting it up this past year. 2010 will bring new and exciting challenges for CRF along with plenty of reef restoration, outreach, and volunteer programs.
Ken's efforts and vision have led to a growing coastal conservation movement in the Florida Keys and is inspiring neighboring countries to evaluate their own marine and coastal conservation issues and challenges. Ken welcomes his two new staff to CRF, which will help expand the overall CRF goal of protecting and restoring coral reefs in the Florida Keys.
