Today we started off with the old coral reef that was ruined by ship anchors. We searched the reef for good coral that survived, but might not make it much longer without human assistance. So we searched for stag horn coral that fitted that description and found around 8 pieces. We then took a break and had lunch on the boats. Soon after lunch we broke up into teams. The first team would go place this underwater like cement/clay. They did a pretty good job but we ended up with a little less clay than we would have liked to make it stick more to the rocks on the reef. I was in group two and we were in charge of placing the stag horn coral inside the clay and then pushing it around the elk horn. We did a pretty awesome job if i say so , but they were still a little wobbly so we had to re-apply some of the clay. At the end of the day though we did a very good job! We successfully replanted all 8 pieces of stag horn coral. So the reef should be attracting fish and other organisms to make the reef flourish with abundant life.
