@BillNye is the bomb. Wash your hands! Wash your hands! Wash your hands! WooHoo! #science #Covid_19 vm.tiktok.com/JYe3KKK/
To stay healthy, corals secrete a slimy coat of mucous containing microorganisms that defend against disease. The work of @zoos_aquariums facilities is helping corals most successful at this defense thrive, so they can help restore the Florida Reef Tract.
ALT The Riverbanks Zoo is one of 18 AZA accredited facilities around the country participating in coral rescue as part of AZA's Florida Reef Tract Rescue Project. To date, more than 1700 corals have found homes at AZA facilities. These corals will help restore the reef in the future.
In recognition of #NationalZooKeeperWeek we want to share some of the faces of @zoos_aquariums aquarists on the front line of coral rescue. #AZACoralRescue wouldn't be possible without these Coral Rescue Heroes! @MyFWC @NOAACoral @FloridaKeysNMS @FLDEPNews

"Columbus is one of nearly two dozen AZA-accredited facilities involved in the long-term coral project; but that project is just one of more than 100 conservation projects in over 40 different countries that the facility is engaged in right now." More: ow.ly/JLYF50Atgdp

Happy #EndangeredSpeciesDay! Boulder, Mountainous, Star, Lobed, Cactus! No matter their name, these ESA listed corals and others need our help! Thanks to our @zoos_aquariums coral holding facilities for making a difference for Florida corals. #AZACoralRescue #corals
Four rescued coral species that are cared for by AZA-accredited facilities are listed under the Endangered Species Act. These corals are critical for healthy reefs, benefiting ocean animals & protecting coastlines. Help save reefs by supporting the ESA: bit.ly/AZAsupportESA
