How To Grow Coral 

I didn't even know coral nurseries we're a thing until just now. These people are doing fantastic work, and I want to thank them so much for protecting the environment.

When she said “as a biologist you must get used to failure,” I just laughed thinking of all the experiments I’ve failed in college so far

I was low-key expecting a tutorial

did they just call a smol coral "baby Groot"? that is just the most precious thing ive ever heard

"I can look at my daughter and say I tried."

I like kim. She's doing a job she loves and is helping the environment. Smart, kind, dedicated, really a good example for everyone.

Good luck, corals! Sorry for all the shit we're putting you through...

"In the future, I can look at my daughters and say I've tried" ❤️

Coral: *is dying* Scientists: Fine. We'll breed them ourselves.

Reef hobbyists: You guys are getting paid?! I would love to have my hobby full time.

I love how she refers to the tiny coral as "him." Technically I guess that's the correct way because he's an animal, but it's still super cute!

Amazing work, I’m a student getting my undergraduates degree in marine biology, and we do a lot of work like this, we recently in the beginning of august collected the spawning from A.PAL because they are endangered. For my thesis I will be looking at micro-fragmentation on artificial substrates as a way for reef restoration. I’m currently working on my proposal and January next year I am to begin my work......I’m excited........Great video!!!!!

How to grow coral: Step one, grow coral.

You just realise the gravity of human destruction when you hear biologists ‘working to make wildlife self sustained’.

*Her: "I can look at my daughter and say I've tried"* *Me to her daughter: YOUR MOM IS AWESOME* 😍😍😍

What they should be doing as well is breeding a variation of the corals that can withstand the harsher conditions of the future. It seems like corals can't naturally adapt fast enough, so we should definitely help them...

Been doing this for 2 years now. Really hope more people would involve themself in this

I used to dream into becoming a marine biologist. The ocean ecosystem is really intricate and elegant. I might actually consider getting it as my minor in the future.

I'm actually glad that youtube recommended me this

Home aquarists have been doing this for decades. Nice to see that the scientists have caught up.

I want to say thank you very much for all of the coral scientists, you're working hard to save all of us!

Growing new coral colonies (correction: "Attempting to grow...") from fertilized embryos was one of my jobs as a research assistant at James Cook University, Townsville, Australia in 2000. Needless to say, I had no success after one spawning event and soon left to work on infectious diseases. I am now a science teacher and will show this video to my students today. It is nice to see that perseverance and ingenuity has won out in this field. Also reassuring that it took 9 years to establish this technique - so I don't feel so bad about having no luck in the few months that I spent attempting to do this all those years ago. Thanks for the video.

Way to go for saving the Earth!

This is so fascinating. I sincerely hope we can use this process to restore coral reefs all over the world.

So much respect for this woman, her team, and all the amazing work and research that’s been done.

this video was very pleasant to watch and it seems like they did a good job researching

"we might not know whats gonna happen to the reefs, but i wanna make sure that in the future. I can look at my daughter and say I tried!" Loveeee thisss!!!!!!!

"Love working with corals" shows a rock anemone #truereefer

If coral is an animal then you don't grow coral you raise coral....

COOOOOORAAAAAAAAL

Not gonna lie, the backround music sounds like minecraft music😆

True climate heros at work here 🤗 no blocking roads, railways or waterway. The intelligence and persistence of these amazing people has produced the most inspiring work for our reefs. Love this video

Excellent Research on Coral. I request you all team to keep researching to give world a fine theory and results.

She does a wonderful speech in this video!!!

I lived in Islamorada for about 15 years and never knew about the coral nurseries down near me. It's nice to see such an amazing work happening c: Thank you RU-vid recommendation

This brightened my entire month I had no idea this was going on. Thank you for your service!

This video is underrated, love the things you do!

Baby Groot!!!

my biologist self is happy

This is the most informational and professional video made compared to all those fake reefers out there who is fragging corals for the money and trying to catch the RU-vid fame, likes and subscribe bs. The cool thing is that you are breeding corals and have a purpose for it unlike some people who are fragging corals for the money. 😁

Thanks Kim for everything you do. You're very admirable.

Alkalinity magnesium and calcium reefers know what’s up lol

People watching this don’t understand the insane amount of research and trail and error this has taken/ hats off and hope 4 years late that sps frag is still alive

That's cute, a small baby coral called "Baby Groot."

me: sees vid title also me: proceeds to watch the vid assuming i can grow corals in my kitchen

the sad part is.. its posted on 1 jun. 2018 the good part is we all get to see it now.. there is still hope and i sure do hope this will work.. and that she wont have to say "we tried" but instead will say : We did it!

We need more people like you out there

This.. This is the kind of work that I'll gladly volunteer to..

*Best case-scenario of being a coral farmer:* "So yeah, I worked hard, loved what I did and did it for the right reasons." *Worst case-scenario of being a coral farmer:* "Well at least I got a front-row seat to the end of the world."

Thanks RU-vid recommendations, i really needed this video in my life

that is really interesting! thanks to all biologist that help restore corals... but still, they are working on limiting the symptoms - whereas we all need to work on the actual cause - pollution of the oceans, plastic, global warming... this gives reason for hope though!

Thank you! That was wonderful to see. I have loved keeping reef and fish tanks for decades. Someday I would like to visit the Georgia Aquarium. I've seen it so many times by remote viewing. I really appreciate the videos on RU-vid and the research you're doing.

Love the video😍 this is so fun to learn! I really want to be a marine biologist when i grow up

Thank that team for that important job...

WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE THEM ON THE WORLD'S OCEANS AND SEAS *NOW*

Thank you for this video! I never knew something like this existed, and it makes me a little more hopeful for our precious Earth.

0:32 This is the fish that you KNOW wants to see your manager.

I don’t know why this videos keep appearing in my recommandation but i love it

as long as you have that healthy tank you can keep trying for ever! i love that

Man I love this

Awessoooomeee

Why did I just cry to a video about Coral

GREAT WORK ......THANKS FOR SAVING THE OCEAN.......HATS OFF

Coral nurseries are awesome! I didn’t even know you could do this. I see this with potential to be a fad and thus maybe bringing attention to coral restoration?

Thank you for your excellent work!

Baby Groot makes a heart

It’s a shame they’re endangered, they’re such fascinating creatures and I don’t want them to go😭

so proud of u guys! Thank you

This video just saved the ocean 1 year in the past

what a cool job she has!

Killing it🔥🔥🔥

This is why I wanna be a biologist :)

Nature is lucky to have those people like you

The beginning of the video looks like psych trip fractals lol

I support you guys for this amazing advocacy

Baby Groot, the coral ... that took me a second to catch but when I did (like 10 seconds maybe) I just laughed a little. Too silly.

This shouldn't be named how to grow coral it should be named how to save coral reefs

Omg its been along time for groot to reach that size🤭

All I can think of is those coral memes from a few years ago...

May the Lord sees the work you have done and bless you.

Never thought I’d sit and watch a Blind Date show for Corals but here I am.

This is bringing tears to my eye😭

Humanity needs dating programs like this

vsco: save the turtleskskskksk and i oop ????: save the coralssksksk and i oop

I was expecting a bunch of hate comments cause the world is crappy right now! Lol but this gives me hope

Nice work i hope it really helps the corals 😊

This should be labeled we found a way to save the Great Barrier Reef

I thought the title was how to grow coal 🤦‍♂️

Temperature: perfect Lunar cycle: perfect Tide: high Coral sperm and eggs: Aight, imma head out

Cool Video and Story. I love coral too

this coral preview of the video is flippin you off lol

I'm more interested in the technical aspects. Like, under what light they're growing them, what are the water parameters, current, additives, food, etc.

Lovely work 👍 I wish I would be a part of your team ..

Woah this video is stunning AND informative

Lord will always be with you!!

This is actually really cool thanks for this video nature is awesome

heck yeah ! "must be comfortable with failure and " in the future I can say I tried"

We all clicked for a tutorial, got disappointed in the beginning but in the end watched it all and was interested the entire time

Love your nails and love what you do! Great job!

Wow, thanks recommendations section!
