Coral reefs are important for the health of our oceans and planet. These reefs produce much of the oxygen that we breath and provide a habitat for the fish we eat. Recently, there’s been a lot of reporting on how climate change is causing the widespread death of these ecosystems.

On this episode of The Show About Science, Nate talks to Dr Vaughan about his work in the Florida Keys to regenerate coral and repopulate the reefs.
