How Coral Island is Saving Coral Reefs - In-Game & In Real Life
_______________
Coral Island claims to promote environmental awareness, but does it really? Let's find out.

Today, I take a look at the science behind coral reef restoration (and nerd out hard while doing it), how it works in real life, and how it works in Coral Island. Spoiler: it's pretty dang on point.

If you missed the Kickstarter, don't worry - you'll have a chance to back it at a discounted price soon. More info (in video form) to come soon!
