Why now?
Marine heatwaves have devastated Florida’s Staghorn corals. Of ~158 genetically unique coral individuals, only 23 remain in the wild. Natural recruitment (new corals from spawning)? Effectively zero. Without bold action, extinction isn’t a risk, it’s a timeline.

Today's prompt for #Mayquatic2025 is #ElkhornCoral.

I posted this painting a couple of weeks ago, so I'm quote posting... Elkhorn is the one on the far left.
