Coral farming. Divers clean the racks on which young specimens of Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) or staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) grow 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
