Coral farming. Divers hang pieces of elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) on the frame, where they grow into strong corals until they can be released onto the reef. The aim is to breed corals that can withstand the higher water temperatures. Dive site Nursery, Tavernier, Florida Keys, Florida, USA, North America
