Plant A Million Corals Foundation
Dr. Vaughan has created a process called micro fragmentation, a rapid growth innovation that reproduces coral reefs at a rate 25 to 40 times quicker than usual. This process produces healthy reef systems that would typically take 15 to 25 years to grow, and compress that time to 1 to 2 years. His work has expedited the healing process for coral reef systems around the globe and counteracts the damages that are occuring everyday.
