To stay healthy, corals secrete a slimy coat of mucous containing microorganisms that defend against disease. The work of AZA facilities is helping corals most successful at this defense thrive, so they can help restore the Florida Reef Tract.

This partnership is a testament to the incredible power of the AZA community. All of our participating facilities are doing critical work to save Florida's coral reefs. The Florida Coral Rescue Center is an amazing addition to the team! ow.ly/WXnN50EpMha
