• Why save the Coral Reefs?

  Coral reefs are the thriving cities of the underwater world. Without them there would be no food, no refuge for the millions of fish to live and feed, and nowhere to provide a safe underwater city for millions of other organisms. Wherever coral reefs are destroyed or significantly harmed, there is an imbalance created in the supply of fish and other living organisms.

  The technology developed over the past 40 years is vital to the future of our oceans and inhabitants.   Now an option is available, using modern techniques, to help restore them, rebuild them, and simply .... bring them back.    This film will conclusively provide a clear blueprint for saving the coral reefs.

• How Coral Reefs relate to the economy...

  Coral reefs have often been called the "rain forests of the sea", they are found in marine enviroments with few nutrients.

  Although they only comprise 0.1% of the world's ocean surface they support 25%  of all the marine species of organisms with abundant food and protection for their complex colonies of tiny animals.  Coral reefs are also invaluable to tourism, the world's ocean fisheries, and even protection for the shorelines of islands and continents, since they take the brunt of many hurricanes and other severe ocean events.  It has been estimated that coral reefs have a net worth of $375 billion dollars annually, a good reason to make sure they are preserved and renewed when necessary. 

  Because coral reef ecosystems are so fragile they are extremely sensitive to urban and agricultural runoff, pollution from numerous sources, temperature and climate change.  Once they have been damaged it may take decades for them to naturally recover. However, with the new techniques explored in this documentary, coral reefs will be capable with the help of man, to be restored and recover more quickly and successfully.
