On June 8, in honor of World Ocean Day, Opal has bought and is gifting 3,000 Coral Legend Bracelets to guests across all of their Florida properties. But this is more than just a bracelet. A portion of the proceeds from the purchase goes to supporting ocean conservation efforts conducted by Mote Marine Laboratory.<\/p>\n

Think Mote is just an aquarium headquartered in Sarasota, Florida? Opal un-muddies the waters to introduce you to what is actually a world-renowned marine research lab, boasting cutting-edge conservation projects from innovative science-based coral and seagrass restoration to technological development for destroying harmful red tide algal blooms and so much more.<\/p>\n

A 135,000-gallon shark habitat, a resident beloved manatee named Buffet, and touch tanks rife with rays and reef animals. It\u2019s hard not to get excited about what awaits you at the\u00a0Mote Aquarium<\/a>, located no more than 10 minutes from Opal properties,\u00a0The Resort at\u00a0Longboat Key Club<\/a>,\u00a0Lido Beach Resort<\/a>, and\u00a0Zota Beach Resort.<\/a><\/p>\n

But Mote is so much more than this one \u2013 albeit impressive \u2013 aquarium site. It\u2019s a world-renowned global marine research institution, leading more than\u00a027 diverse research and technology development programs<\/a>. In fact, more than 42 Ph.D. scientists make up the nearly 300-person staff based across eight Mote campuses stretching from Sarasota Bay through the Keys.<\/p>\n

How do we know all this?\u00a0Opal Collection<\/a>\u00a0partners with Mote, particularly to support their cutting-edge coral restoration efforts (more on that below). After all, majority of Opal\u2019s resort destinations are set right on the ocean \u2013 conservation of these critical environments is close to our heart and something we actively take part in. And we\u2019d love for our guests to get invested in this kind of work, too.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we take a look at just a few of Mote\u2019s projects making big waves in the world of ocean conservation.<\/p>\n

CORAL \u201cGARDENS\u201d GALORE THROUGHOUT THE KEYS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your garden might be home to roses or pansies. Mote\u2019s \u201cgardens\u201d host coral \u2013 specifically, we\u2019re referring to the combination of\u00a0land-based and underwater nursery sites<\/a>\u00a0scattered throughout the Keys that grow disease-resistant and heat-tolerant coral fragments. Why? Because these little guys \u2013 once transplanted \u2013 play a key role in bringing the dead or damaged coral of Florida\u2019s Coral Reef back to life and saving them from extinction. And it comes at a critical time too: This 350-mile track of reef stretching from the St. Lucie Inlet down to Dry Tortugas had lost all but two percent of its living coral cover in recent decades.<\/p>\n

Since starting the program in 2008, Mote scientists have produced and outplanted just over 200,000 corals \u2013 and that\u2019s a number they hope to double in the next four years thanks to donations from Opal and a\u00a0recent grant from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u00a0(NOAA)<\/a>. Want to see the coral cuttings up close? You can when you visit or stay at\u00a0Opal\u2019s\u00a0Reefhouse Resort & Marina<\/a>\u00a0in Key Largo, home to a\u00a0Mote land-based nursery<\/a>\u00a0and the first and only one in Key Largo. Here, 20 fiberglass tanks, called \u201craceways,\u201d produce between 6,000 and 10,000 coral fragments per year for Mote\u2019s outplanting efforts.<\/p>\n

SHARK SCIENCE THAT DATES BACK TO MOTE\u2019S BEGINNINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason the Mote logo is emblazoned with the outline of a great white shark: The study of sharks was actually the lab\u2019s original area of research when it was first founded in 1955 by the late Eugenie \u201cGenie\u201d Clark.\u00a0Famously known in the science world as the \u201cShark Lady,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Clark not only spearheaded Mote\u2019s investigations into whale shark behavior and ecology along the Florida Gulf Coast, but she spent a great deal of time raising awareness about the essential role these \u201cgangsters of the deep\u201d \u2013 as she referred to them \u2013 play in a healthy ocean ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Today, Mote continues its nearly 70-plus-year legacy of\u00a0shark research and science-based conservation programs<\/a>, earning it the title of the nation\u2019s only Center for Shark Research from the U.S. Congress. Even more exciting, recent shark population surveys conducted in Florida report that the same species (bull, great hammerhead, and sandbar sharks) that were once dwindling during Clark\u2019s era in the \u201970s and \u201980s are finally returning to healthy levels, a direct result of Mote\u2019s continued science-based policies and management strategies.<\/p>\n

KEEPING RED TIDE AT BAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The term \u201cbloom\u201d may conjure images of vibrant flowers and lush gardens, but in the context of marine biology, a bloom is often not something you want to encounter. Referred to as \u201cred tide,\u201d harmful algal blooms occur when colonies of algae grow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on marine wildlife, as well as humans. In short: it doesn\u2019t make for a pleasant day on the beach.<\/p>\n

But thanks to Mote\u2019s work on\u00a0The Florida Red Tide Mitigation & Technology Development Initiative<\/a>, done in conjunction with the\u00a0Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission\u00a0(FWC)<\/a>,\u00a0Florida is now looking at more than a dozen new promising methods to combat red tide. One example includes the use of a mobile water treatment system used in canals that processes up to 4,000 gallons of water per minute, cleansing it of red tide while allowing other marine life to thrive. Another solution utilizes a process called \u201cclay flocculation,\u201d essentially spraying a surface of open ocean with clay particles and seawater to kill and bury red tide cells in the seafloor sediment.<\/p>\n

FISH FARMING THAT IS ECO-FRIENDLY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine visiting your favorite\u00a0Florida-based seafood restaurant<\/a>\u00a0and there is no seafood on the menu. Or going out on a multi-day fishing trip and the ocean is devoid of catch. Sadly, many fisheries around the world \u2013 including sportfish and seafood species \u2013 are struggling to keep pace with the pressures of our growing human population.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the work being conducted under\u00a0Mote\u2019s\u00a0Marine & Freshwater Aquaculture Research Program<\/a> is so critical. But we\u2019re not talking some meager restocking efforts. Located in eastern Sarasota, at their 200-acre, state-of-the-art Aquaculture Research Park, Mote is pioneering innovative technologies to produce fishes and invertebrates to meet our growing national demand for seafood, as well as restore depleted recreational and commercial stocks. What kinds of cutting-edge technology? Mote scientists have developed recirculating aquaculture systems that raise freshwater and saltwater fish while recycling close to 100 percent of the water. They\u2019re not just developing spawning, larval, fingerling, and grow-out culture methods for a range of species (think Common and Pacific snook, Florida pompano, southern flounder, greater amberjack, red drum, red snapper, Caribbean king crab, and more), but it\u2019s being accomplished in the utmost sustainable manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
