Bringing Coral Reefs Back To Life | Dr. David Vaughan | TEDxBermuda
Dr. Vaughan takes us on a journey of exploration, fortunate mishaps and coral reproduction.
Dr. David E. Vaughan is an aquaculture researcher who has designed, built and operated many marine aquaculture projects, programs and businesses. He initiated the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution’s Aquaculture Division in 1991 and built the Aquaculture Development Park, and ACTED, the Aquaculture Center for Training, Education and Demonstration. Dr. Vaughan built and developed the Center for Marine Ornamental Research (CMOR), which is now incorporated as Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums Inc (ORA), which he was president of until 2001 . Dr. Vaughan is also the Executive Director of the Mote Tropical Research Lab in the Florida Keys and manager of the Coral Reef Restoration Program

*Don't wonder do something please* ( if this moves you write to him thank him, ask him what he needs help with). Support other eco friendly projects wherever you see them, financially, politically, publicly, volunteer... *convince others to be more planet friendly* ..like the coral buttons..make links with your neighbours to become a greater force.
What a guy! I love the breathing exercise at the beginning :) fabulous
Fantastic! Congratulations and good luck Dr Vaughan and team. You are a light of hope.
Watched this from New Zealand! Beautiful thank you
Great to learn that there is a possible solution to restoring our coral. Love to see this scaled up!
That is truly amazing, this man have to be really prud of himself. My compliments!
I love this man
I am blown away right now. This is amazing.
This mans facial get-up is banging.. People like this are the only hope for keeping our beautiful reefs alive into the future. Would love to shake your hand sir, well done.. inspiring

What I don't like is that he's claiming that he invented "microfragmenting". Our coral ornamental trade is based on fragging for multiple decades before Dr. Vaughn. I'm grateful for the work that he's doing but claiming to come up with something that he didn't isn't very admirable thing to do for a scientist of his caliber.
wow that's a huge breakthrough! amazing
Finding another like button.... Just amazing 😌❤️❤️❤️
Restore rapid growing ground cover when trees are cut and restore sea kelp on a massive scale with the help of local dive shops/scuba clubs
You are my hero!
this is so cool
Pretty awesome honestly
That was fantastic.
Amazing inspirational, *Dr Vaughan a hero by any measure* ...just in the nick of time too to save coral (now let's do the same for rest of planet). He can retire a happy man his life's work had such great fruit to carry on centuries if not millennia. *Wondering if the whole microfragmenting can be done efficiently with mini machines* that walk across existing coral? In a tank or on sea bed...how nice if we could plant automous gardeners to monitor and manage change:-) the secret of success is not just having the idea but in it's exploitation in a repeatable efficient process
i hope australia is doing this now to help regrow the great barrier reef
Coral reefs are really a community of multiple coral species serving different roles. One provides for a strong base while others help in dealing with undersea currents. In order to successfully restore the reefs, we have lost we have to find combinations of fast-growing corals that serve multiple roles in a reef. Any single kind of coral can create a habitat but it's bad for bio-diversity. We need coral banks.
i hope they are doing well right now
I hope more people will know it.
Coral fusion could be bad for the colony. Si hubiera una enfermedad, toda la colonia es afectada, pero si provienen de diferente parentesco la restauración es más resiliente
We needs robots to feed them
yo 9st
smart mistake
