Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a new $9.5 million bill in the works to protect Florida’s coral reefs.

Friday’s announcement revealed the money is being used to grow more corals and put them back in the ocean.

Florida’s coral reef protects Southeast Florida against approaching storms and attracts visitors year-round.

DeSantis is bringing schools and businesses together to work on this, and they’re using new technology to improve things.
