This study examines coral reef management strategies using case studies from Maui, Fiji, and Florida. Through interviews and observations, the investigation explores community-driven initiatives and scientific efforts to conserve coral reefs. In Maui, holistic projects like Pacific Whale Foundation's Mauka to Makai program respond to environmental challenges. In Fiji, organizations like Coral Gardeners and Corals for Conservation employ tailored active restoration methods. Meanwhile, ongoing efforts in Florida underscore the urgency of addressing climate change. These findings emphasize the importance of global collaboration and proactive measures to ensure the resilience of coral reef ecosystems. Digital communication through photography and videography will reveal monitoring plans to combat the local stressors to coral reefs in each region.
