You can grow corals at home which is a lot of work and a lot of money xP reef tanks are what you can do to grow them yourself but heads up it’s crazy expensive and it’s a good market for an experienced reefer or if your a beginner reefer try zoas and mushrooms
"we might not know whats gonna happen to the reefs, but i wanna make sure that in the future. I can look at my daughter and say I tried!" Loveeee thisss!!!!!!!
I also like how she really seems to care, the line "I want to be able to look at my daughter and say that I tried" says a lot about her values as a person. She's truly someone to be admired!
she is helping the enviroment? if u put coral in a dying reef it wont help because it will just die with the reef. And coral requires lots of energy to grow, energy usually comes from fossil fuels, which ruins the enviroment even more. so it is very counter intuitive.
There are four groups of humans The ones that complain but don’t do anything about it The ones that complain but actually act on it The ones that ignore it The ones that destroy it
Amazing work, I’m a student getting my undergraduates degree in marine biology, and we do a lot of work like this, we recently in the beginning of august collected the spawning from A.PAL because they are endangered. For my thesis I will be looking at micro-fragmentation on artificial substrates as a way for reef restoration. I’m currently working on my proposal and January next year I am to begin my work......I’m excited........Great video!!!!!
How are you at designing a coral reef using a iron barge that can be placed and sunk at predetermined area, it can be arranged, it would get you started in farming
@ People should check up on survivorship bias. You dont think scientists are well aware of the requirements corals have, or that their observed data is true/relevant/something that should be taken into consideration more than "stuff existed before, it will continue to do that"?
@ To check if a claim is factual or just the comment from a overcertain individual. Is to check the merits of the sources/proofs they have provided. And you have provided absolutely zero sources. The co2 lags claim might be answered by this video ua-cam.com/video/zQ3PzYU1N7A/v-deo.html
@ To be fair, the reason we need to breed Elkhorn and Staghorn now is because there was an epidemic that wiped 95% of them out and although they are recovering in some places, that's not the same for everywhere and in some places it's much slower than optimal if at all.
And as she said, it's relatively hard for them to reproduce with the small population size. If you look at historical records of their populations and look at them now you will see the huge difference. They literally use to dominate the shallow reefs but now they are rare and endangered
Corals are hermaphrodites, meaning that they have both male and female gametes and can produce eggs and sperm. So technically the pronouns would be "it" but "he" does sound better. 🙃
What they should be doing as well is breeding a variation of the corals that can withstand the harsher conditions of the future. It seems like corals can't naturally adapt fast enough, so we should definitely help them...
Like what Combed Autumn said it would be a bad idea. If corals were bred for one factor in nature another influence can cause corals to die off again. We should just let nature thrive in their own. We have already made bacteria resistant to our medicine and they did that on their own.
It’s an interesting concept, but there are so many thousands of species that it would be almost impossible to do that with the majority of species. Not to mention seeing corals in spawn in captivity is incredibly rare. It is highly dependent on perfect conditions and lunar cycles. Captive spawning of corals is almost unheard of, however I’ve personally witnessed my anemones spawning and I know some species of tridacna clams have also spawned.
Sure, it's better to risk whole ecosystems bringing new species to uncontrolled habitats than try to preserve our natural patrimony 😂 sorry, there is no easy fix
Growing new coral colonies (correction: "Attempting to grow...") from fertilized embryos was one of my jobs as a research assistant at James Cook University, Townsville, Australia in 2000. Needless to say, I had no success after one spawning event and soon left to work on infectious diseases. I am now a science teacher and will show this video to my students today. It is nice to see that perseverance and ingenuity has won out in this field. Also reassuring that it took 9 years to establish this technique - so I don't feel so bad about having no luck in the few months that I spent attempting to do this all those years ago. Thanks for the video.
I used to dream into becoming a marine biologist. The ocean ecosystem is really intricate and elegant. I might actually consider getting it as my minor in the future.
At first i strongly agreed with post but i think they were referencing it as under phylum cnidaria which was discussed in beginning and includes both anemones and corals
Tyler Fishman well ya humans grow in the same sense. But my point is that "raise" is the term for animals. "Grow" is for plants... You don't grow a human or a dog
Not if you say something like "when I grow up". I hate to say this but that is kind of trivial. I'm sure language matters in many settings, but kind of missing the point of this video. The fact that we have to intervene to replenish coral into reef says a lot about the state of some of these areas.
I lived in Islamorada for about 15 years and never knew about the coral nurseries down near me. It's nice to see such an amazing work happening c: Thank you UA-cam recommendation
True climate heros at work here 🤗 no blocking roads, railways or waterway. The intelligence and persistence of these amazing people has produced the most inspiring work for our reefs. Love this video
This is the most informational and professional video made compared to all those fake reefers out there who is fragging corals for the money and trying to catch the UA-cam fame, likes and subscribe bs. The cool thing is that you are breeding corals and have a purpose for it unlike some people who are fragging corals for the money. 😁
GD that cracked me up. I can just see him on the shore, all beaten to shit, gun drawn and chest cartoonishly pointed at the sky as an oil tanker runs adrift a reef.
the sad part is.. its posted on 1 jun. 2018 the good part is we all get to see it now.. there is still hope and i sure do hope this will work.. and that she wont have to say "we tried" but instead will say : We did it!
*Best case-scenario of being a coral farmer:* "So yeah, I worked hard, loved what I did and did it for the right reasons." *Worst case-scenario of being a coral farmer:* "Well at least I got a front-row seat to the end of the world."

Thank you! That was wonderful to see. I have loved keeping reef and fish tanks for decades. Someday I would like to visit the Georgia Aquarium. I've seen it so many times by remote viewing. I really appreciate the videos on UA-cam and the research you're doing.
Coral nurseries are awesome! I didn’t even know you could do this. I see this with potential to be a fad and thus maybe bringing attention to coral restoration?
I love how we as a species say that we are going to help preserve something like this that has been on Earth for thousands of years.. .coral will be here even after the human species is wiped out
What an amazing group of people who barely even get credits from what they do. I salut you all scientist out there who are trying what they can to help the environment.
I could be coral in next life. Why not. But mostly, and I beg Univers for that, I want to be a Tree. Feel pure esence of life, without thinking, just pure feel of life... This is just my simplification -- I am rather convinced that plants "understand" more than we think... Such off-topic comment. I just saw those corals, and felt in love in Our Planet once more...
Yes you are right about trees and plants knowing what's going on in their environment. Although plants have no brain and don't feel any pain they know when they're hurt and they know when they're in danger. They can also communiacate with each other with their roots and the fungi that are attached to the roots making them able to create a whole network which can as big as a whole forest and they can help other baby plants by giving nutrients or create even poison and warn other plants if they're attacked by invading insects. Plants are amazing creatures!
i think i heard an interesting theory about how plants and trees basically use humans as livestock essentially. we enjoy the literal fruits of their labor while they're insured a life of relative comfort on orchard and such. Some times when i'm zoning i'll think about how much more time trees and ferns had on land and think its kinda cool bc when you think of trees as these mindless, sexless, shadow overlords they start to remind me of eldritch horrors among us and start to be a lot cooler seeming at least to me.
Ikadoreimatsu how could trees use humans as live stock? And what about before humans were on earth? The first modern humans appeared roughly around 300 thousand years ago while the first trees appeared over 350 *million* years ago! Before humans cultivated trees and plants they had to clone themselves via their roots and later on evolved to create flowers thus enabling them to create fruits so animals and insects spread their seeds so they can multiply. But that's not using living beings as live stock. This is called mutualism. That theory you mentioned doesn't make sense tbh
I'm more interested in the technical aspects. Like, under what light they're growing them, what are the water parameters, current, additives, food, etc.
I didn't even know coral nurseries we're a thing until just now. These people are doing fantastic work, and I want to thank them so much for protecting the environment.
It's their job, they're supposed to do this.
+Yo Mama its still amazing though... I imagining what would be like if I worked with them, witnessing the incredible life of this corals would be awesome enough and also be able to help in the conservation of this endangered corals would feel really great..
coral nurseries dont help much, because the new coral will die just as fast as wind coral
Andrew Buist thank you, I raise coral in my 300 gallon tank

How are you at designing a coral reef using a iron barge that can be placed and sunk at predetermined area, it can be arranged, it would get you started in farming
Reef hobbyists: You guys are getting paid?!
I would love to have my hobby full time.
@@buffpathfinder3607 A lot of reef hobbyists that are successful with their corals can make a bit of money back by selling frags.
How to grow coral:
Step one, grow coral.
Step two, observe the growing coral and awe.
You just realise the gravity of human destruction when you hear biologists ‘working to make wildlife self sustained’.
@ People should check up on survivorship bias.
You dont think scientists are well aware of the requirements corals have, or that their observed data is true/relevant/something that should be taken into consideration more than "stuff existed before, it will continue to do that"?
@ How do they fare in more acidic oceans? Because what are your merits and sources to be a arbiter of truth and lies (and the warmer claim).

Technically I guess that's the correct way because he's an animal, but it's still super cute!
Didn't ask for their pronouns first
How can they assume? Triggered!
