This video about coral reef restoration in Kuruwitu Village, Kenya is really inspiring. It's amazing to see how the local fishermen are working to revive the marine ecosystem and bring back the fish population. I'd love to visit this area someday and see the progress they've made. The coral nursery and replanting efforts sound like an effective way to combat the impacts of climate change on these fragile ecosystems. I'm curious to learn more about the specific location and perhaps even find out "where am i right now exact address", and how the community is leading this important conservation work.
