"Coral Bleaching". Our installation will be set up at the #StrandEphemera (26 Jul - 6 Aug). #GlobalWarming is one of the biggest threats to our environment. We convey this message through #CoralBleaching

Sneak peak #strandephemera: “Coral Bleaching,” by @MarineLJC & E. O’Brien.

Each handmade pottery bowl represents a single coral polyp. Corals consist of individual polyps, with algae living inside them.

Come find out what happens when corals bleach...

Excited to be spending the next 2 months @aims_gov_au working in collaboration with @MarineLJC on an exciting new project! Not infected yet - small red dots (#Symbiodinium) outside the #coral larvae (green). @Coral_AE @himb_soest @GatesCoralLab
