The Brilliant Deep Rebuilding the World's Coral Reefs: The Story of Ken Nedimyer and the Coral Restoration Foundation

The Brilliant Deep introduces young readers to environmental scientist Ken Nedimyer, whose passion for the ocean led him to develop revolutionary techniques for restoring damaged coral reefs. Through engaging text and beautiful illustrations, the book chronicles Ken's journey from a curious boy to the founder of the Coral Restoration Foundation, demonstrating how he and his team use "coral gardening" to bring these vital underwater ecosystems back to life. It's an inspiring narrative that highlights the importance of conservation, the wonders of marine biology, and the profound impact one dedicated individual can have on the planet. This book is perfect for sparking conversations about environmental stewardship and empowering children to believe they can contribute to positive change.

All it takes is one: one coral gamete to start a colony, one person to make a difference, one idea to change the world. The ongoing efforts to save and rebuild the world's coral reefs--with hammer and glue, and grafts of newly grown coral--are the living legacy of Ken Nedimyer, founder of the Coral Restoration Foundation. Includes foil cover.
