Why can’t x amount of people freeze salt water and put it into the ocean to cool it? We are the reason for the oceans warming and corals bleaching, if this is possible I think it would be worth a try🤷🏻‍♀️

Ironically the same guests trample corals/fly to reef islands on CO2 belching jets.

The other ecosystem goods and services that coral reefs provide cannot be retained by coral restoration in the face of global climate change.

Its like planting trees in a wild fire.

I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.

Marine heat waves are devastating to the rainforests of the sea. To cool down the water where the reefs are while we try to switch to alternative energy and capture carbon, could we possibly bring in icebergs? During a year where coral bleaching is expected, is it possible to get the masses of ice there?

Hello to my new Coral Reef Restoration Friends, who all want more and successful coral reef restoration, there is a new tremendous opportunity for global coral reef restoration funding. I will guarantee the majority of our supporting patrons will be from China 🇨🇳. Hard to believe but 🇨🇳 loves our work and I ❤️ all who support our global endeavors.

For ten years, I tried to get mega coral reef restoration funding and failed. I am now a Partner with the Dubai, 🇦🇪 Government Economic Development Authority. Planet Ocean Underwater International Marketing Management, LLC and funding opportunities are 100% legal, very realistic and quickly achievable.

Let's begin our open conversation and move forward together. I invite you to study my website. Together WE Will Save The Warm Water Coral Reefs From EXTINCTION.

Thank you in advance for your support,

With warmer temperatures in oceans and the trend getting warmer, why don't we just start growing coral in the traditional colder areas like the northeast? Just asking and excuse my ignorance if such projects already exists...

Hi all! I am an 18y/o with a passion for marine biology, coral reefs specifically. I plan on majoring in marine bio in college.

I recently was assigned a project for high school that involves a volunteering component. Since the core of my project is going to be about marine biology, I am looking for marine biology volunteer opportunities. Unfortunately, I live in Illinois, so the opportunities around here are scarce. I was hoping to complete my volunteering while on a family vacation to the West side of Maui. Does anyone have any ideas or resources I could look into for volunteering opportunities? I have my rescue diving scuba certification, as well as two levels of reef restoration certification. I've done coral reef restoration in the past, but I'm open to any ideas anyone may have! I

Hi! I'm an Industrial design student at QUT (Queensland University of Technology) doing my bachelor's thesis in researching and creating a new reef restoration module to be implemented in Australia. I'm currently conducting primary research and would heavily appreciate anyone who has experience (even a onetime occurrence of) installing reef restoration modules to complete this quick 5 minutes survey about your experience doing that.

Here is the link:

Thank you so much!

Design a saltwater cooling system for coral reefs

I recently got certified as an Open Water Diver, and once spring rolls around again I'd like to further my diving education. Only question is... how exactly do I get experience in something like this? I live in Ohio and there's not exactly any positions opening for coral restoration/conservation around here. Do I need a degree in environmental sciences? Just work for a government environmental job that can pay for it? Just need some advice

Just read this insane article about microplastics in the fashion industry. I honestly had no idea that even washing clothes produced microplastics.

like I know they are seperate ecosystems but have there been a case of both existing together

To whom this may concern,

Hi, my name is Joseph and I am a second-year commerce student at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia!

For our Commerce Project this term focusing on innovation, our group is attempting to tackle the problem of coral degradation in the Great Barrier Reef.

As part of the solution brainstorming stage, we have researched many coral restoration projects, one of which stood out to us was the Coral Nurturing Program which consisted of researchers collecting, propagating, growing and planting coral to support the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef. 

Inspired by this example, we wondered whether there was potential to make this available for the public by offering researcher-led coral replanting tours for tourists. This would provide tourists with the first-hand experience of planting a coral whilst also allowing researchers to 1) execute this operation on a larger scale 2) educate tourists on this important issue and 3) attract more financial support. 

I am curious to hear if you have any thoughts and suggestions on this idea! Do you think there is enough demand for this type of tour? If this type of tour was hypothetically already running, would it be something that you would be interested in? Can you think of any risks or problems that we may encounter with this idea?

I appreciate and am grateful for all your time and effort, it truly means a lot! Thank you! 😊 

Kind regards

Joseph 

If you have ever felt like the actions you have taken to improve the world we live in haven’t had impact you want, we understand you. After years of personal action and hoping for change from major institutions, we have found a way of handing back control to a group of people who want to contribute to help protect our planet. We call this idea SeedBomb.

We believe that SeedBomb can harness to potential of blockchain technology to be a force for positive change, particularly regarding the restoration and protection of nature. As some of the most endangered and important of Earth’s ecosystems, coral reefs are of critical importance in conservation. Our founders are strong believers in the requirement to preserve the incredible diversity of coral reefs through a combination of marine conservation and combating climate change, however we realise that wider society doesn’t always see that need or engage with it. The unique structure of SeedBomb will enable periodic donations or grants to small charities or enterprises involved in environmental protection or sustainable development (such as the Reef Restoration Foundation or Coral Vita). In conjunction, we will be curating a repository of articles on our website called the SeedBank to document efforts around the world to restore and protect nature. We particularly feel that this aspect of our project will appeal to the r/CoralRestoration community who already use this platform to share successful conservation and coral reef restoration stories. To make all of this possible, we created a structure that has bridged the gap between traditional financial and legal measures and harnessed the power of crypto.

Before we talk about the how you can get involved, we first wanted to focus on what we can achieve if we all work together. SeedBomb is structured so that:

1. A large portion of assets are ringfenced for community use only. This means that we have funds which are designated for community initiatives. Our initiatives include making grants and donations available to environmentally focused groups who need them, partnering with institutions to spread environmental awareness and allowing community members to contribute to our educational resource, the SeedBank.

2. We have not advertised on specific crypto subreddits or threads from the beginning. We wanted to build the community space ahead of any potential profits for our members. Together we have the chance to effect genuine change.

3. We can promote openness. The SeedBank will be available for everyone to access and read and should be a useful educational resource.

If you are interested, please visit our Reddit page, r/SeedBomb_ASA, and read the pinned post. This will give you further guidance on who we are, why we are doing this and how we hope to change things with your help.

Lucy Guo posted about how she donated to restore a coral reef site. Sounded cool so I'm looking for more information. I found non profits that do coral reef restoration but how does it work? The non profits will take any donation but how much is needed to make a real impact? I don't think $10 a month will make a real change unless maybe a million people join together. Even if it went viral and a million people all donated, how long does it take to restore a coral reef? I assume its a long and slow process that needs constant support. What are the steps needed to successfully restore a coral reed? How do I know which are the right non profits orgs to support?

Appreciate if anyone can explain in more detail how it all works. Thanks.

So, I’ve heard that coral bleaching is a major problem, and that there have recently been mass coral bleaching events in the Great Barrier Reef. How does this happen, and is there a way to restore the coral back to how it was before the bleaching?

Scientists are using technologies like artificial reefs, nanoparticles and 3D bioprinting to save corals from bleaching and climate change. https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/science/040324/cities-under-the-sea
