Ken Nedimyer first dived into the pristine waters off the Florida Keys at the tender age of 13, whilst on vacation with his parents. He loved it so much, that he returned in 1969, to obtain a degree in Zoology from the Florida Atlantic University and never left.

- Andrew L.13년 이상The problem is cold fronts in Florida reefs. Whats causing the problem is white band disease. What solutions are being made to help is Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary method.
- A!ss@ P.13년 이상The problem with the reefs was that a coldfront came in at very low tempaters and distructive hurricains in 1977.This caused two reefs in Florida Keys, and also damage other reefs.The solution was all because of Ken Nidymer.They tried to plant more coral in that area and hopefully recovered the beutiful Florida Keys Reefs.
- Zachary Medlin13년 이상The problem is the coral is vanishing because of the cold fronts and hurricanes. The cold front are making the water to cold for the coral to survive. The hurricanes are wiping the coral out with the power of the waves from the strong winds. A solution is to first grow new coral. Then they replant the coral on rocks and in the ground.
- Maciek s.13년 이상Everything was fine in Florida Keys until 1977 when a series of of cold fronts hit two of Florida's reef building corals the Staghorn and Elkhorn and also weakend the other coral reefs.Then later in 1985 when the corals were beggining to recover a couple of huge tornadoes hit the coral reefs.So a few scientists decided to try to rescue the coral reefs by planting coral and it worked.If the scientists keep doing this procces they will probely save the coral reefs in Florida Keys.
- naniboo13년 이상wow i never knew that people could and would do such a generous thing. i would like to know how i could help. i also think that ken's work was a big help and inspierd me to try to help too.
- S3TH Y@NC#Y13년 이상The problem is that corals are disappearing WORLD WIDE!! Scientist even belived that 25% of the worlds coral has been lost!! These horrible things are happening because rising sea temperatures and higher carbon dioxide wich is global warming. But Ken Nidymer does have a solution to fixing this problem he could use his coral re-planting method and maybe this method could bring back our precious corals.
- Brock13년 이상The problem with coral reefs is that the coral is disappearing. It is disappearing by global warming , carbon dioxide, and hurricanes. The solutions that are being attempted to solve the problome is they are planting coral and is working. If we keep doing this process we could save our intresting coral.
- maxim cilek13년 이상the problem is that the climate is to cold and thats so cold its killing the coral reef. so there problem is that the coral reef are dying because its to cold.they used staghorn to keep the fish alive.
- Kate C.13년 이상The Coral is "disappearing" which causes as a world wide disaster! Scientists estimate about 25% of Earth's coral has been lost. Some theories are that it's because of the rising sea level and some say because of the lack of oxygen caused by what we call, global warming. Scientists say that in about 50 years half of the globe's coral will have vanished. Nedimyer say's that solutions are needed, and hopes that his Coral re-planting will pay off all through the Economy.
- Sofia Marino <;-)13년 이상The problem is that coral reefs are getting destroyed in many ways. They are mostly getting destroyed by cold fronts and storms. People are using staghorn coral to prevent this disaster.
