These posts are getting less and less mundane, but I like the chance to find the theme in my photos and showcase that. Dr. Katherine showed a picture of some beautiful coral mushrooms from the Olympic national forest.
My coral is from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. My daughter had a friend visiting last summer and we took her there for sightseeing.
We found both Nemo and Dory.
The last image is not coral per se, but is from an art exhibit about plastic that was at the aquarium at the time.
Artist Alison McDonald reuses and reforms everyday materials in her sculptures. She writes, “this transformation from refuse to artwork will I hope echo the transformation in our attitude towards recyclable products and encourage more responsible use of our resources.”
Our coral reefs need this transformation in attitude, and are counting on us to bring it about.
A Thousand Finds 
We have some friends who went to the Florida coast (or it may have been Jamaica) to help “plant” new coral. I thought that was fascinating.

Sadly, with climate change and the earth temperatures rising the coral reefs will be one of the first things to go.😔
