    Dive into the largest Aquatic Aquarium in the world and make a difference through coral restoration. Come dive with us while learning and planting corals in the ocean, during our annual Coral Restoration Foundation Dive in the beautiful Key Largo, FL to help revitalize our oceans through coral restoration!

      
    Staghorn and elkhorn corals are undersea architects, creating reef structures that support vast varieties of fish, sponges, lobsters and other marine creatures. Hit hard by disease, global warming and other stresses during the past 30 years, these corals have declined to a few isolated patches in the warm, sun-splashed waters that run from southern Palm Beach County to the islands of the Caribbean.

    But beginning with a chance discovery off Key Largo, where staghorn coral was found growing in an undersea farm for commercial aquarium rock, scientists have begun raising these corals in offshore nurseries with the goal of transplanting them into the wild... (Excerpts from SunSentinel Newspaper)
      

    Coral Restoration Education & Dive Excusions are conducted throughout the year. Get involved, get certified and make change to benefit our world. Become an AQUANAUTS member and join us on our next Coral Restoration Dive.
