We Understand....
We hear about it. We see it on the news. We feel the effects. Ocean temperatures are rising, getting more polluted, and becoming more acidic. Corals and Coral Colonies are dying off at an alarming rate. It is estimated that almost 90% of the coral reefs will disappear within the next 20 years.
Here at Patrick's Frag Shack, we want to do our part to help prevent that from happening. We get our corals from coral farms. Coral Farms are facilities that propagate coral - grow one piece of coral from a larger piece.
We Support....
With your help, we are able to support charities that do their part in maintaining and restoring Coral Reefs in the oceans. There are several that do phenomenal and groundbreaking work in saving and restoring our natural Coral Reefs.
The picture in the comments, is one of our "adopted" corals - a Pocillopora Verrucosa - from The Coral Gardeners (https://coralgardeners.org/).
We Do Our Part....
We try and assist multiple organizations through donations and getting the word out. Another one we here at Patrick's Frag Shack support is called the "Reef Life Foundation" (www.ReefLifeFoundation.com). They focus on research, education, and scientific studies.
We Stay Informed....
Here at Patrick's Frag Shack, we want to stay up to date and informed on the latest break throughs and trends in the home saltwater aquarium hobby. We relay that information to you, through our website. We are members of W.A.M.A.S. - Washington DC Area Marine Aquarist Society. This is a non profit educational society dedicated to the husbandry of marine life in a captive environment. Through exchanging information with one another, we share our collective knowledge on the care and propagation of these wonderful ocean animals.
