“As an avid diver, visiting coral reefs is one of my favorite things to do. I am so lucky to have been given a firsthand view of their beauty and vibrancy. Seeing both bleached reefs and some thriving has allowed me to see and feel the heartbreak of a reef that used to flourish and is now all white. In contrast, though, seeing how quickly Cordap has rushed to accelerate coral restoration is truly inspiring. “
