NYTimes Covers Coral Rehabilitation Efforts

The NYTimes is covering the ongoing efforts of the Mote Marine Laboratory to restore damaged coral populations in the florida keys.  FishkeepingOnline covered this story a few weeks ago  As is usually the case with NYTimes coverage.  They do a good job examining the story in a bit more depth.  Perhaps the biggest concern of mine in seeing the article was the photograph of corals growing in a frag rack.



Given the aggresive nature of corals, it is generally advised to hobbyists that they be grown in monoculture.  Yet the image displays a wide variety of species (Including gorgonians which are exceptionally aggressive) growing in the same cultivation rack.
