Rare Breed: Hot Guy Talking About Rare Miami Coral Found at Soon-to-Be Dredged Port. Geniusofdespair

I would usually classify this as a "yawn" but this marine biologist guy is too good to look at to get bored. I also thought his hairdo was rather unique. I suggest you look at his video below.




Here is what Colin Foord talks about in this video...

According to Colin Foord in the video, the hybrids are not recognized and therefore do not have protected species status -- unlike their parents - the Elkhorn and Staghorn coral, are federally listed as endangered species. He indicates that these hybrid corals have the potential to save coral reefs worldwide and therefore should be safeguarded. In fact, Mr. Foord indicates that Government Cut is a "proving ground" for coral species survival - calling it Miami's own "coral laboratory" or "coral farm." Compared to the Caribbean waters, Mr. Foorth indicates that these hybrid corals found in Government Cut show "fewer diseases" and have been able to withstand more successfully extreme water temperatures that have caused other corals to perish. The concern is that the two years of dredging and blasting proposed for the Miami Harbor Phase III project will cause turbidity levels that will damage or destroy these corals and everything else within and surrounding the shipping channels in Fishermen's Cut.
