Finally, We harvest a dozen or so large pieces of staghorn coral and head back to the boat.
最后，我们采集了十几块大块的鹿角珊瑚，然后回到船上d2pH*R~9;GNIK]C。
That is a very impressive operation.
这是一次令人印象深刻的活动j|mpw!Mam]mlFM#SN。
There is a lot of coral growing down there and it seems really happy to be growing on those little coral trees.
那里生长着很多的珊瑚，看起来能在那些珊瑚树上生长似乎是件很开心的事gA~|IXCcm35。
Very neat.
一切都井井有条UoV|N8Ygh29EnN77lU。
Back on the boat, I fill a tub with water.
回到船上后，我给水桶装满水Ca=yTT]&=+]V。
This is the coral that we're going to transplant.
这就是我们要移植的珊瑚fwK#Eo1Wq9hNVnU;。
You know you let them grow out, then you cut them off, and hang more up and let them grow out…
要让它们长大，然后把它们剪下来，再挂上更多的珊瑚枝，让它们发芽)z9^(@EZPATHbmWI*G3c。
Everything out there started with…all the coral would have filled in this bucket.
农场里生长的所有珊瑚都曾被装在这个桶里ZCO|7qj~ohPXqBM。
Really?
真的吗？
Next we move the boat a few hundred yards to a reef where we will transplant the coral we just harvested.
接下来，我们把船开到几百码远的暗礁处，我们要在那把刚采到的珊瑚进行移植|rYw1lIn,7a。
So this is a reef called Snapper ledge, and there's a big ledge on it and there's lots of fish usually.
这是一个叫做“鲷鱼礁”的暗礁，上面有一个很大的礁架，通常有很多鱼0n2(ZQ^&|6Mlni.。
But there's hardly any staghorn coral.
但这里几乎没有鹿角珊瑚TLXQ_C3_XLfWSqh!。
You know a lot of people ask why we roll backwards off the boat.
很多人都会问我们为什么要向后滑jQt)Bf&H!8%17yTR。
And the answer is quite simple: because if you roll forwards, you're still in the boat.
答案很简单，因为如果你向前滑，就仍然在船上pKNsCr+S4M,。
It's pretty amazing.
真是太神奇了tLE1=uCag._o。
I don't think many people get to do this.
我认为很多人都不会这样做_viM4t]N|k6neXr~WN。
I'm going to be part of making a new reef!
我要参与制作一个新的珊瑚礁！

Down on the bottom, Ken leads me to a barren section of reef that could definitely use some staghorn coral!
在海底，肯带我来到一个贫瘠的礁石地带，肯定可以在这种一些鹿角珊瑚！
He starts by scraping off algae and marine growth to clear a section for the newly transplanted coral.
他先清除藻类和海洋生物，为新移植的珊瑚腾出一块地方n8aiCNtTMl;。
Next he mixes up a putty-like glob of epoxy that can cure underwater.
接下来，他混合了一种能在水下固化的腻子状环氧树脂etP~w,S.=_6i7#。
Then he presses the staghorn coral into the epoxy.
然后，他把鹿角珊瑚按入环氧树脂中&Fd;@l82XUvwnQuU。
In a few hours it will be stuck permanently.
再过几小时，它就会永远长在那里XpL0oj0jbeCi;36Df3。
Now it's my turn to try the same technique with the next piece.
现在，轮到我尝试用相同的技术移植下一块Bane^SK9p=#a。
If I don't scrape all the way down to bare rock, then the epoxy won't stick and the coral will most likely die.
如果我没有一直刮到露出岩石，那么环氧树脂就无法粘住，珊瑚很可能会死亡0W@y=_R880p5cuIsw。
Ken and I plant about a dozen pieces of staghorn together in an area about 4 feet across.
我和肯在大约四英尺宽的地方一起种了十几片鹿角珊瑚#G8;s~IA7Ekhcu+=@)。
It takes about half an hour for the two of us to plant all the coral we brought down.
我们两人花了大约半个小时才把拿下去的所有珊瑚都种好A|-Kl.WQI64s(KA&_hu。
And when we're done, the fish are already moving in to their new habitat.

This is a piece of staghorn coral that Ken planted a year ago.

With our mission complete, we head back to the boat.
我们完成任务后，就回到船上k6bJThP6%C|JM。
Thanks to the work of Ken Nedimyer, we now know that at least some species of coral can be farmed and used to replant damaged reefs.
多亏了肯·内迪迈尔所做的工作，我们现在知道至少有一些珊瑚物种能够人工养殖，可以用来重新补种受损的珊瑚礁GuoiiyOtf38z7]。
While this technique doesn't address the threats to coral, it does provide a new method for restoring damaged reefs.
虽然这种技术没有解决珊瑚面对的威胁，但它确实提供了一种恢复受损珊瑚礁的新方法ZiA%t1DLQJv9。
