Rescue a Reef: Behind the Scenes

For her capstone project, our Canon fellow, Melissa Borges, created a short documentary about corals and how our program works to restore them. Over the course of her fellowship, she documented Rescue a Reef expeditions, and captured content in our Coral Restoration Lab, to tell the story of coral bleaching, and how we are working to restore Florida’s reefs. We hope to use this video to educate the general public on the importance of corals, and what our program does. The full video is available on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @rescueareef
