Coral Restoration Project



I was going through my pictures and I found these and thought they were interesting. WIt took weeks for us to pour cement into cheap plastic Dixie cups to form the pedestals for the coral to grow on. Then we cut pieces off other corals and cemented them onto our pedestals with underwater epoxy. Then we left the rest to mother nature and the corals grew. Later they were transfered to various reefs where they could continue to grow. It looks like Pirates of the Caribbean when we were walking across the bottom of the ocean with the cement blocks.
