On a recent dive survey off of Broward County, FL, RESOLVE coral expert Clay Backus and consultant Mike Haley conducted the most recent iteration of measurements in support of the Coral Growth Project.

The findings revealed extensive growth over the 15 month project span, especially when compared to adjacent natural assemblages. Based on the successes to date, Resolve is currently exploring options to expand the scope and scale of the project in partnership with RSMAS (Rosenthiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science), University of Miami.
