After graduating from UWF in the Marine Biology program, I became the Marine Biologist at a new coral farm in Pensacola. This is where I learned about propagating coral and how this can be beneficial to coral reefs since it helps mitigate from the pulling of wild-caught corals from the reefs. Because coral reefs around the world are dying at an alarming rate, there may come a day when the only exposure to corals that we have comes from aquariums in our homes.
Until we can solve the problem of the dying reefs, I would like to play my part by preserving corals the best I can.
