What do YOUR underwater bubbles sound like? 🫧🤿

We asked our team to recreate the sound of their bubbles while scuba diving, and let's just say... everyone has their own interpretation. 😂

Which one do you think was the most accurate?👇

Coral restoration, but make it in Español! 🪸🌊

For her intern project this summer, one of our incredible interns created this video in both Spanish and English to introduce Coral Restoration Foundation and the work we do to restore coral reefs.

Coral reefs connect communities around the globe. Videos like this help make coral restoration more accessible to a broader audience. 🌎💙 We love seeing our interns bring new skills and perspectives to our organization!

As comes to an end, we’re continuing to raise awareness about one of the biggest challenges facing coral reefs today. 🪸🌡️

Bleaching happens when stressed corals expel the algae living in their tissues, losing much of their color and a major source of energy. Corals can recover if conditions improve, but repeated or prolonged stress makes recovery harder.

As bleaching events become more frequent, the urgency to protect and restore reefs grows with them.

Thanks to Coral Reef Alliance and all the other organizations that joined in to help bring greater awareness to coral bleaching throughout the month of September.

Coral bleaching isn't new. But the scale, frequency, and intensity have changed. But what is coral bleaching and why does it matter?

What happens after corals are returned to the reef? We keep watching. 🪸🔍

Our restoration team uses monitoring techniques such as underwater photogrammetry to create detailed 2D models of restoration sites.

These photomosaics are primarily constructed through CeruleanAI, and allow us to track changes over time and evaluate the progress of restoration efforts.

🤿 Dive. 📷 Document. 💻 Analyze. 🪸 Restore.
