Coral reef are most at risk of dying. Coral seeds are grown in nurseries, then replanted on the reef. Coral is farmed by coral farmers whose interests range from reef conservation to increased income. Efforts to expand the size and number of coral reefs generally involve supplying substrate to allow more corals to find a home.
