GARF hopes to promote captive growing of all the needed animals for a healthy reef aquarium. We can have a marine aquarium hobby that we can all be proud of if we share all of the methods that we learn while we research small scale coral farming. In the early 1970's LeRoy, conservationist and founder of GARF, made a vow to never sell a live or dead coral due to the impact that it might have on the wild reefs if too many people became excited about reef aquariums. Since that time he has decided that propagation is a far better answer to this problem. But wait a minute, doesn't commercialization further the pressure on the reefs?
If done right it helps reefs, far more than just talking about the problem, could hope to help. Take freshwater discus for example. These fish could have been seriously impacted if breeding had never taken place. So, the answer is in breeding marine fish and corals.

Instead of commercialization hurting nature, it actually benefits it by spreading around more beautiful reef aquariums that naturally make people more interested in the world's reefs and in preserving and sensibly farming them.

THESE SOFT CORALS CAN BE PRODUCED FOR A PROFIT
