OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo says they have taken in some coral from the Florida Reef Tract in an effort to help save it from stony coral tissue loss disease.
The reef is the third largest in the world which they say is experiencing "unprecedented coral loss" due to the disease.
They shared the information in this Tweet:
