The article in Sun Sentinel, says the Staghorn coral is a endangered species which is why these volunteers are growing them in special under sea nurseries. Once re grown, the coral can be planted back into its natural habitat.
The photos show the process from growing to planting and features the numbers of volunteers helping to save the coral.
"Over a dozen volunteers gather and disperse to plant coral. The Coral Restoration Foundation has a government grant only until the end of 2011. They are trying to gain community support to keep the project going."-Sun Sentinel
