NOAA just funded a 30,000-square-meter coral restoration project at Cayo Largo off Puerto Rico with $5 million going toward habitat rebuilding and local community work. Https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/large-scale-coral-restoration-underway-puerto-ricos-cayo-largo

That's a big-scale reef move, smart to put money where it actually rebuilds habitat instead of just talk.
Good to see money going to real habitat work that actually helps fisheries and coastal jobs instead of just another handout.
Always good to see practical environmental work getting funded without turning into another endless bureaucracy.
This scale of coral work could seriously help reef ecosystems bounce back.
Scaling coral work to 30k square meters with local crews is the right move. Real habitat metrics plus jobs beats small demo projects every time.
Rebuilding reefs and helping communities at the same time makes real sense.
Good to see real money headed to rebuilding reefs instead of just talk.
