Part 4:

Coral Farming at CoralVita

     CoralVita is a for-profit, coral farm that restores and preserves coral reefs around the world. CoralVita strives to raise climate-resilient corals in their on-land, farm tanks. These many coral species have been through the micro-fragmentation process, which creates cloned coral masses that are then planted in the oceans near where their host corals were harvested. This protects biodiversity and coastal communities. 

​

     Caperton visits CoralVita, the coral farm on Grand Bahama. While one of the interns, all of whom are paid, tours Caperton through the farm, she explains the process of micro-fragmentation, and how this method produces more healthy corals to be implanted into the sea. Caperton then talks with a CoralVita marine ecologist and a marine conservation biologist. She learns about the community outreach for educating the public about the importance of healthy coral reefs.
