I discovered a fantastic program for vets. It’s not exactly rehab–for them, at least–but it has rehabilitative effects. Actually, it’s good for them AND for the coral reefs, which is good for all of us.
It’s called Force Blue. “It’s a brand-new type of post-military program that would help former combat divers cope with their PTSD by refocusing their skills toward the mission of marine conservation,” according to the article The Earth’s coral reefs needed a savior. These retired veterans needed something to save.
Read about Force Blue–how it came about, what it does, and how it is saving the lives both of veterans and of endangered coral reefs. It’s quite interesting.
