Coral is a living thing, but a lot of coral reefs are dying. Some species are considered endangered. Ken Nedimyer is trying to do something about that. Coral reefs are sometimes called rain forests of the seas, and Nedimyer is replanting these underwater rain forests and hoping to make sure they`ll be around for decades to come.

珊瑚具有生命,但是越来越多的珊瑚礁出现死亡现象。一些物种也面临危险。Ken Nedimyer正试图做些什么来组织事态的恶化。珊瑚礁有时被称为海洋里的热带雨林,而Nedimyer正在尝试着重新种植这些被称之为海洋热带雨林的生物,希望能在几十年后仍然是一片生机。

I grew up diving in the Florida Keys, and it was just the most magical place. The coral reefs were so pretty, and I decided that`s what I wanted to do for a living, is dive on coral reefs.

我小时候经常在佛罗里达群岛的海里游泳,一直到长大,那是一个充满神奇色彩的地方。珊瑚礁非常漂亮,一群一群招摇在海底。于是我决定了我这一生要做的事,就是在有珊瑚礁的海里游泳。那真是太美了。

In an area where there`s live coral, there`s always more fish. Reefs provide protection for our coastal areas and recreational opportunities for millions of people.

在有珊瑚的地方就会有更多成群成群的鱼环绕在周围。珊瑚礁可以保护我们沿海地区的安全,同时还给人们提供了娱乐游玩的机会。

I was diving for 40 years, and over time I saw those coral reefs start to die. Coral reefs worldwide are in decline. If coral reefs die completely, coastal communities would be bankrupt, tourism would be virtually gone. A billion people in the world will be impacted. I started thinking, you know, how can we fix this problem?

我在这篇海域里游了将近40年的泳,随着时间的变化,我发现这些珊瑚开始出现了死亡现象。珊瑚群出现了世界范围上的减少。如果珊瑚群全部死亡的话,沿海社区将会破产,旅游也将不复存在。将近十亿的世界人口将受到影响。我开始思考一个问题,我怎样做才能解决这个问题。

My name is Ken Nedimyer and I grow, protect and restore coral reefs.

我叫Ken Nedimye,我种植,保护珊瑚群,让珊瑚群重新焕发生机。

We developed a system that`s simple and it`s something that we can train others to do.

我们发展了一个系统,这个系统非常简单,也可以教别人做。

We start with a piece of coral this big and we hang it on a tree. And after about a year or two, it becomes this big. And then we cut the branches off, and we do it again.

我们这么大一片珊瑚为例,首先我们把他挂到树上,过一两年之后,它就会变成这么大。然后我们把它的分支砍下来再像之前一样做一遍。

Ken`s Coral Nursery is one of the largest in the wider Caribbean. It`s 10 times larger than the others that are in existence.

Ken`s的珊瑚园是加勒比海地区最大的珊瑚养殖园之一。是其他珊瑚养殖园的十倍。

In 2003, we originally planted six corals here but now there`s over 3,000 growing in this area alone.

在2003年,我们起初在这里种植了六个珊瑚,但是现在光在这个地区就有3,000多个珊瑚了。

Before, I felt helpless watching it die. Now I think there`s hope. It`s not too late, everybody can help. And I see all those corals and all those fish. So it`s like this whole reef is coming back to life and making a difference is exciting.

之前我看到它们一批批死去特别无助,现在我已经感觉到了希望。现在还不算太晚,每个人都可以加入进来做一点贡献。我看到了这里珊瑚又重新焕发了往日生机,鱼群也慢悠悠的在水里遨游,这些无不都令人兴奋。
