Florida Keys coral restoration groups Coral Restoration Foundation, Mote Marine Laboratory and Reef Renewal USA joined with scientists from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to plant resilient, heat-resistant species of coral at Key Largo's Carysfort Reef to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the sanctuary's Mission: Iconic Reefs program. Despite challenges from the 2023 marine heat wave, these resilient corals bring hope for the future of Florida's coral reef.
