Developed by US design workshop Objects and Ideograms, the project is intended to facilitate the restoration of coral reefs one of the most vulnerable ecosystems on Earth. https://www.dezeen.com/2020/08/06/coral-carbonate-reef-skeletons-objects-ideograms/ Peter- In Quintana Roo, the reef is a crucial part of the local ecosystem and the local economy and both are in peril. Last year the state accounted for some $15 billion of the $25 billion that tourists spent in Mexico. Now it is facing massive pandemic-driven losses. As the region slowly emerges from the coronavirus lockdown, an innovative experiment is underway to safeguard the reef and the tourism industry it helps support: A 100-mile stretch of the Mesoamerican Reef is the world's first natural asset protected by an insurance policy. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mexico-saving-coral-reef-hurricanes_n_5f3ee879c5b6305f32552b7c Main Topic- Starting your own Reef Club 1. Have a Vision- a plan or goal for your club 2. Figure out the type of club you want to run- Just a group of friends getting together or a fully organized club 3.

Scientists from WMG at the University of Warwick, led by Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, developed a 1cm by 1cm wireless artificial aquatic polyp, which can remove contaminants from water. Apart from cleaning, this soft robot could be also used in medical diagnostic devices by aiding in picking up and transporting specific cells for analysis. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy126 Peter- 30 New Deep-Sea Species Discovered Near The Galapagos A team of scientists have announced the discovery of 30 new invertebrate species collected on deep water expedition around the Galapagos National Park. The team discovered new corals and sponges, including ten bamboo corals, four octocorals, one brittle star, and eleven sponges, they even collected four new species of squat-lobsters. http://bit.ly/newsPeter126 Main Topic: The Anemone Episode Pt. 2 Last time we discussed some basics, anatomy, popular types found in the hobby and symbiosis. One of the many resources we tapped into for this episode was the late Bob Fenner's MACNA 2017 anemone presentation. What is amazing is that the success rate for many reefers keeping anemones has been on the incline for the years preceding this talk but have jumped to whole new levels since. Long term anemone keeping used to be a rarity but has become a much more common occurrence, with the distribution of quality information gains in success multiply quickly. Today we will go over parameters, timing, husbandry, pests and aquaculture/propagation.

Now, scientists there have taken a small step toward helping coral survive in a warmer world. For the first time, researchers have grown algae in a lab that can reduce coral bleaching, as it's known. The results are a notable advance in the growing field of assisted evolution, in which scientists are working to alter coral genetics to help them endure hotter water. https://bit.ly/newsPeter125 Main Topic: Starting a YouTube Channel? Here's some things you'll need: 1. Camera (doesn't have to be anything fancy - Could be your phone!) 2. Tripod 3. Color Correcting Lens (Clip on orange filter...Polyp Lab, Orphek, Coralvue) 4. Mic, Remy's choice - Rode Lavelier mic for iPhone https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EO4A7L0/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_ieDiFb1M0MWVA The 3 Levels of YouTubers we talked about today: 1. The Documenter - you're doing this YouTube Channel for you. You want to see your reef grow over time. This could be public or private. 2. The Presenter - you may want input from commenters, you may want to show things off and get feedback. Sharing your experience. 3. The Content Creator/Influencer - You're writing outlines, researching, making a video with the audience in mind. Consistently posting. Sustain your hobby with extra income. Some Tips from Remy's experience: -JUST DO IT. (I delayed for months and months...just do it!) -Have thick skin. Trolls await. It's inevitable, they will hurt your feelings. Focus on those that connect with you rather than the people who contribute negativity to the conversation. -Get a little better with each upload.
