This announcement, made on World Oceans Day, is in direct response to the urgent plight Florida\u2019s Coral Reef is facing. Warming waters, more acidic conditions due to higher carbon emissions, a devasting coral disease and other stressors have left our once abundant, thriving reef near the brink of extinction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch and read more below:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"fitvid673578\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fu_VMkLoPz4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mote, a global leader in marine research and conservation since its founding in 1955, has been actively paving the way in science-based restoration efforts in the Florida Keys for over 25 years. With a growing staff of highly revered and heavily published PhDs and expert practioners, Mote is the only organization completing the entire restoration loop under one entity: from assisting sexual-reproduction cycles, to rearing the next generation of coral, to resilience testing, asexual fragmentation with scaled up outplanting and extensive monitoring. To date, Mote has outplanted over 78,000 coral fragments on Florida\u2019s Coral Reef, with a survival rate of over 90% in most cases. Additionally, thousands of corals are growing in Mote\u2019s land-based nursery on Summerland Key and Mote\u2019s two underwater nurseries in the Lower Keys.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, Dr. Michael P. Crosby, Mote President &amp; CEO, shared Mote\u2019s plans to build an additional land-based coral nursery on the property of famed Bud n\u2019 Mary\u2019s Marina in Islamorada in the Upper Keys\u2014the first of its kind in Islamorada. \u201cWe\u2019ve been incredibly successful with our efforts in the Lower Keys, but to meet the urgent demand of restoring our rapidly declining reef, we must double our operations and capacity to serve additional parts of the reef tract.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Late last year, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced its initiative Mission: Iconic Reefs, which identified seven \u201ciconic reefs\u201d in the Florida Keys that will receive a concentrated, collective effort of restoration support in the coming decades. Cheeca Rocks, a prominent reef near Islamorada, is one of the identified Iconic Reefs and the focus of Mote\u2019s targeted response with the new coral nursery. Crosby adds, \u201cthe Islamorada community has a rich history of world-class fishing, diving and ocean recreation, and in many ways is the heartland of the Florida Keys. Mote is honored to establish Islamorada\u2019s first science-based coral nursery as part of our broader strategic reef restoration and science education mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new nursery was not the only partnership unveiled during the press conference.\u00a0 Islamorada Conservation and Restoration Education, I.Care, is Islamorada\u2019s newest environmental awareness organization, focusing on a community-based approach to coral restoration.\u00a0 They will work with citizen-divers to help outplant and monitor Mote-supplied coral fragments onto Islamorada\u2019s reefs. Dr. Kylie Smith, co-founder of I.Care explains, \u201ctrue advocacy, conservation and education comes from hands-on experiences with citizen scientists. Giving the citizens and visitors of Islamorada the tools and ability to save our reefs may be the difference we need to ensure our reef can survive now and for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the new partnerships in the Florida Keys, Mote recently announced that it is moving forward on building a new coral gene bank within the 200-acre Mote Aquaculture Research Park in east Sarasota County. Crosby explained, \u201cthis gene bank is an eco-vault like no other, a modern-day Noah\u2019s Ark, that will ensure we will never lose the diversity of coral that makes our reef so special.\u201d This gene bank, purposefully chosen to be built at an inland location, will be housed in a Category-5 hurricane resistant building, with state-of-the-art environmental systems and controls. Mote already has over 1,600 individual genotypes of corals from 17 different species of Florida coral in their care. Crosby added that \u201cMote now has one of the largest single collections of living coral genetic diversity in existence, and our long-term strategy is to extend our coral gene bank\u2019s capacity to hold species and genotypes from reefs around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Celebrating Mote\u2019s Past &amp; Present in the Keys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1993, Mote expanded to the Florida Keys, with its first Keys laboratory located on Pigeon Key, located in the middle of the 7-mile bridge. By 2000, Mote had moved operations into a recently vacated commercial lab building on Summerland Key. As operations and staff continued to grow, Mote realized a greater need for a facility to support its vast research and restoration goals in the Florida Keys. Indeed, in 2017, that dream became reality with the opening of the Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research &amp; Restoration; a 19,000 square-foot, Category 5 hurricane-resistant building with five laboratories, a land-based nursery, a Climate and Acification Ocean Simulator (CAOS), the Alfred Goldstein Institute for Climate Change Studies, classrooms, and temporary dorm-style housing for visiting researchers from universities and organizations from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Mote\u2019s first underwater nursery, located near Looe Key, recently turned 10 years old. That nursery has grown coral fragments, that if extended from tip to tip, would stretch to over 6 miles of coral. Mote staff and other nursery residents (most with fins), are celebrating 10 years with an underwater birthday party, today on World Oceans Day.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Mote has two public aquarium exhibits focusing on coral research and restoration in the Florida Keys, at NOAA\u2019s Eco-Discovery Center in Key West and the Florida Keys History and Discovery Center located at the Islander Resort in Islamorada.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Success rarely happens alone, and Mote credits its success to strong partnerships within the communities we serve. Today, on World Oceans Day, we celebrate with non-profit organizations, for profit businesses, local artists and breweries, dive shops and volunteer citizen scientists\u2019 groups, the Mote family of supporters and members, and the entire community of the Florida Keys with one goal in mind: saving our coral reef. A few examples of our partnerships:<\/p>\n<p><em>Florida Keys Brewing Company<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This Upper Keys first microbrewery created a special brew, The Resistant Strain, to support Mote\u2019s quest to identify, propagate, and plant coral with resilient qualities that will ensure that it survives now and in the future. This double hibiscus Kolsch is available on tap at their quaint and fun location in Islamorada, as well as in 4-pack cans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Captain Hooks Dive Center<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Located in the Lower Keys, Captain Hooks has teamed with Mote to provide an exclusive coral restoration experience. Divers will get a behind-the-scenes tour at Mote\u2019s Summerland Key lab and land-based nursery, a briefing and educational presentation about science-based coral restoration, and hand-on training session before heading out to Mote\u2019s underwater nursery to conduct coral restoration activities.<\/p>\n<p><em>Boy Scouts of America<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mote forged a collaboration with the Boys Scouts of America, Florida National High Adventure Sea Base to bring coral reef restoration to BSA\u2019s Marine STEM Adventure program. Now, at their Brinton Environmental Center in Summerland Key, BSA has a land-based coral nursery, currently growing coral provided by Mote, with the intention to outplant that coral to the reef in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Enzymedica<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the critical need for healthy oceans, Enzymedica is devoting a portion of the sales of its new Aqua Biome fish oil supplements to Mote\u2019s coral restoration program.<\/p>\n<p><em>Darwin Brewing Company<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With a passion for marine conservation, Darwin Brewing Company created two exclusive beers, Leatherback Lager and Reef Revival Session IPA. Together with Winn Dixie and Gold Coast Eagle, every six-pack sold benefits Mote.<\/p>\n<p><em>Art by Pasta<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Acclaimed local Islamorada artist, Roberto Pasta Pantaleo, paints live at Mote\u2019s annual Islamorada OceanFest and auctions his incredible ocean-themed paintings with all proceeds going to support Mote coral research and restoration efforts.<\/p>\n<p><em>Legend Bracelet<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With a mission to protect and restore coral reefs, Legend Bracelet created a special Coral Reef Bracelet with one capsule of sand from the Florida Keys and an empty capsule to be filled by something meaningful to the wearer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Oceans Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>World Oceans Day is a global movement to celebrate and honor the oceans, and the critical role the oceans play in our everyday lives.
