Restoring our Reefs

Hand-in-hand with our work on lionfish, the Foundation is funding efforts to identify and stop the spread of “white plague,” a new, suspected bacterial disease that’s killing more than 20 species of coral throughout the Florida Keys. We are collaborating with FWC, NOAA, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, REEF and other agencies and nonprofits to save what remains of Florida’s dwindling reefs, on which so many of our fisheries depend, and to work on their long-term recovery.
