Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Mote Marine Laboratory will be awarded $6,986,687 to restore coral reefs at multiple sites in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary including the reefs associated with the Mission: Iconic Reefs effort. An unprecedented, decades-long approach to restore iconic coral reef sites in the sanctuary.
Over five years, Mote will outplant thousands of coral fragments of multiple species, including Endangered Species Act-listed staghorn and elkhorn corals, as well as massive reef-building corals (such as brain, boulder, and star corals). The project will also significantly increase the production and release of Caribbean king crabs and address current bottlenecks in the production and enhancement of algae grazers, which provide a critical service to coral reef health.
Coral reefs are integral to South Florida's culture and economy, and the reef tract is a valuable asset in mitigating damage from hurricanes, sea level rise, and coastal erosion.
