Hey Zef,
The coral reef restoration project in the Keys is slightly different then what I did in Bali when I donated the "baby coral". In bali, I just gave a $$ donation to adopt a baby coral on Reef2Reef's behalf. In the Florida Keys, they actually put you to working helping to frag and transplant corals from the nursery to the actual reef. As you will see below in the link, this is exactly what I did step by step in the Florida Keys Restoration Project. Well, except the day was much crappier, the current was much stronger, there was an infestation of moon jellyfish, and a couple of people were throwing up on the boat
Other than that, the process is identical to that in the video.

So after a couple emails, another donation, and the generosity of an individual in Bail who was willing to visit the "Trigger Fish Structure" and take an updated photo...
