Jamaica Coral

White River Fish Sanctuary wardens patrol through the reef of the sanctuary's no-take zone in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019. After a series of disasters in the 1980s and 1990s, Jamaica lost 85 percent of its once-bountiful coral reefs and its fish population plummeted. But today, the corals and tropical fish are slowly reappearing thanks to some careful interventions. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Diver Lenford DaCosta cleans up lines of staghorn coral at an underwater coral nursery inside the Oracabessa Fish Sanctuary Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019, in Oracabessa, Jamaica. In Jamaica, more than a dozen grassroots-run coral nurseries and fish sanctuaries have sprung up in the past decade, supported by small grants from foundations, local businesses such as hotels and scuba clinics, and the Jamaican government.

Diver Everton Simpson untangles lines of staghorn coral at a coral nursery inside the White River Fish Sanctuary Monday, Feb. 11, 2019, in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. On the ocean floor, small coral fragments dangle from suspended ropes, like socks hung on a laundry line. Divers tend to this underwater nursery as gardeners mind a flower bed _ slowly and painstakingly plucking off snails and fireworms that feast on immature coral. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Diver Everton Simpson removes snails from staghorn coral planted inside the White River Fish Sanctuary Monday, Feb. 11, 2019, in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The years of care that Simpson has devoted to trying to bring back Jamaica's coral reefs are shown by the cuts on his hands as he painstakingly works to transplant the new coral. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Divers Everton Simpson, right, and Andrew Todd bring staghorn coral from a coral nursery to be planted inside the White River Fish Sanctuary Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019, in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. When each stub grows to about the size of a human hand, Simpson collects them in a crate to individually "transplant" onto a reef, a process akin to planting each blade of grass in a lawn separately.

Fisherman turned Oracabessa Fish Sanctuary warden and dive master, Ian Dawson, looks for fish while spearfishing outside the sanctuary's no-take zone in Oracabessa, Jamaica, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019. "I do fishing for a living. And right now I'm raising fish, raising fish in the sanctuary," said Dawson who only spearfishes on his free time now when he's not working at the sanctuary enforcing the no-take zone. "If you don't put in, you can't take out, simple." (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Fisherman Damian Brown helps his daughter Mishaunda, 9, with her homework as his sons Damian Jr., 3, from left, Dre, 4, and daughter Paris, 1, right, watch television in their home in Stewart Town, Jamaica, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019. Brown has been caught twice fishing inside a no-take zone and now relies more on night spearfishing, which is illegal, to make up for the wages impacted by the sanctuary's restrictions. "Was nice before the sanctuary come in. Was good," said Brown. "Now I make no money off the sea again like one time." (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Nicholas Bingham enters the water to go night spearfishing, which is banned, especially in the sanctuaries set up to protect the island's endangered coral reefs and replenish fish stocks, in Stewart Town, Jamaica, Friday, Feb. 15, 2019. The restrictions have taken a toll on many Jamaicans' livelihoods, in a place where jobs can be scarce. In some places, fishermen have joined with local businesses to form marine associations and negotiate a no-fishing zone. But that simple line in the water must be enforced. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Night spearfishermen wrap their faces to protect against stinging jellyfish. But that's not the only threat lurking in the water: In addition to sharks, wardens are patrolling, scouting for illegal fishing. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

White River Fish Sanctuary warden Mark Lobban steers the boat under moonlight while patrolling the no-take zone for illegal fishermen in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Friday, Feb. 15, 2019. Two years ago, fishermen joined with local businesses to form a marine association and negotiate the boundaries for a no-fishing zone stretching two miles along the coast. A simple line in the water is hardly a deterrent, however, for a boundary to be meaningful, it must be enforced. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
