Dr. Vaughn's discovery and work is important news to those of us who care about coral reef health. I'll pass this video on to others. Thank you.

Hello Dr.David Vaughan. With all the mooring fields in the Florida keys, would it be a good idea to adopt out some of your corral box to these boaters who rent these mooring balls, or what’s your thoughts on old iron boats or barges for artificial reef planters that can be moved to desired locations?

I genuinely extend my sincerest salutes to Dr David Vaughan. This is a scientist that would have retired years ago, but he stayed on working just to see the very fruition of his life's work really come to life. This is dedication and commitment that is really lacking these days. People no longer work with the same purpose and dedication. I deeply have so much cheers towards the spirit of this incredible individual. You can see the passion in his work.

Good job Dave! With the massive bleaching here in Fiji we are now trimming bits of what did not bleach to create gene banks nurseries on the reef of thermally adapted corals. I have shared this link on our Corals for Conservation Facebook site so that many more practitioners will see it. Hope is what the coral reef needs! Thanks again!

I want to know where I can go to help support Dr. Vaughan on his mission to regrow the reefs. This deserves so much attention.

What a inspiration this video is, from only returning home from our annual Vanuatu holiday this week I was in a bit of distress on how the coral reefs on and around Port Vila have change for the worst in only 12 months, from amazing beautiful and full of life to dull and very sad looking and far less life. I was told that it is recovering well but it was a shock to see. I know global warming is a real threat now and that Cyclone Pam also had a role in its condition but I know now there is hope.🇻🇺👍

Only if we can solve the CO2 issue asap.
