Their efforts in coral rehabilitation, particularly with Acropora cervicornis, have led to the establishment of thriving coral nurseries, contributing to the restoration of local reefs.

The survival of this reef is baffling. Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), once common across the Caribbean, has declined by up to 98% in many areas due to warming seas, disease and pollution.
