"Home to an on-site Coral Lab that advances reef conservation by identifying the least-vulnerable coral species, cultivating coral nurseries, and restoring reefs in high-risk areas across nearby destinations such as the Dominican Republic and Mexico. The lab’s work is part of a larger coastal-health effort that includes establishing additional nursery sites (one in Jamaica is expected to hold roughly 10,000 elkhorn coral fragments) to protect biodiversity, reinforce shorelines, and increase reef resilience against climate impacts and disease." - AFAR
