UCF crochet coral reef highlights threats to coral ecosystems
Original: UCF crochet coral reef raises awareness of threats to coral ecosystems
A crochet coral reef installation at the University of Central Florida is drawing attention to the dangers facing coral ecosystems, including warming oceans, pollution and bleaching. The handmade reef blends art with environmental education, and similar community crochet reef projects have been used elsewhere to spark public conversation about ocean conservation.
