The Brilliant Deep: Rebuilding the World’s Coral Reefs

Kate Messner, illustrated by Matthew Forsythe

This book explores efforts to save and rebuild coral reefs through the work associated with Ken Nedimyer and the Coral Restoration Foundation. It describes how a single coral gamete can begin a colony and how restoration uses tools such as hammers, glue, and grafts of newly grown coral. The account connects these practical methods with the continuing work to restore reefs around the world and Nedimyer’s legacy in coral restoration.
