    The Islands in the Caribbean were hit really hard by hurricane Irma. I was so happy to see that were doing, exactly,this for help rebuild their coral reefs. I saw a helicopter, a submarine and a canon. So COOOOOLLL!!

    This is great but it will not continue to work if the temperatures if the oceans continue to rise, CO2 keeps rising causing acidification and algae growths that deplete oxygen.

    They tried this off the coast of Fort Lauderdale with tires, which didnā€™t work too well but some of the other things they tried worked pretty well.

    I think schools and colleges could do projects make moulds, and have competitions for the most connalised Structure It could be fun and help with the environment
