Excited to share our latest publication on coral walking! 🪸📽️ High-res analysis reveals how corals move and 'see' blue light to navigate.

Thanks to @PLOSONE & my co-authors @DavidJSuggett, Luke Nothdurft, and @PeterPrentis!

Excited to have contributed to this new resource - setting a baseline for #reefrestoration terms and definitions - consistency is central to how activities scale with effectiveness and rigor.

[Coral Restoration Consortium @CoralConsortium]

Coral reef restoration is expanding worldwide 🌍, with that comes a growing web of complex terms and definitions.

After years of work, the CRC is excited to SHARE "A User’s Guide to Coral Reef Restoration Terminologies" 📝

Everyone has a role to play in how restoration can effectively aid in securing a future for coral reefs - our new paper @NatureClimate https://t.co/Y6KiUyZcuF is a timely reminder why restoration is a much needed and uniting tool whilst we fight climate change

[Raquel Peixoto @peixotors]

ALERT critical paper on coral reef restoration/conservation!!! @NatureClimate

It is (sadly) easier to sell disaster than solutions... but the solutions exist (and are not mutually exclusive!) and are being continuously developed and optimized.

Summaryon selective breeding corals for heat tolerance at @ConversationUK

What did we find?

There is scope to assist evolution of corals with selective breeding, but we still gotta cut emissions, and fast!
