Reef Relief -- Protect Living Coral Reef Ecosystems

 Hurricane 6
 After the hurricane: volunteer John Maceli carefully rights a fragment of storm tossed coral. Living coral tissue that has been buried as a result of storm activity can survive if righted shortly after the initial impact. Many of the hundreds of overturned corals at Western Sambo Reef were rescued by Reef Relief volunteers after Hurricane Georges.
