Gardening coral =healthy oceans-Bethany Wolfe 3rd

Summary:
Ken Nedimyer, founder of Coral Restoration foundation and sea-farmer, is taking steps to make the oceans happier and healthier. He developed the process of growing coral off-shore and replanting it on reefs. His hopes are to encourage the coral to reproduce on its own after forming a small colony (several branches) on the farm.
Analysis:
Because coral is a vital part of marine ecosystems, the reality of its disappearance is awful. However, Nedimyer, among others, works to aid the ocean rather than watch it die. This corresponds to the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, enacted in 1972, which works to preserve marine habitats and wildlife.
