I saw the DRTO Acroporids in their death throes up-close and in person—so devastating. https://t.co/jImzcYEQdS

[Carly Kenkel @DrCarlsHorn]

And the bad news - got the debrief on the status of our 500+ Acropora cervicornis outplants in the Dry Tortugas. They are all dead or nearly dead. One of the best acroporid sites coral cover wise along the Florida Keys reef tract is now a wasteland. There are no words.

New paper out today from my group (first-authored by my recent postdoc Dr. Leila Chapron and in collaboration with Dr. Ilsa Kuffner's group) showing hope for Acropora palmata restoration in Florida. @osuearthscience @osuresearch @ASCatOSU @USGS

New @USGS study in @NatureComms finds that aggressive #CoralRestoration now could help reduce impacts of long-term sea-level rise and storm-driven flooding on #CoralReef lined coasts.

What has 6 sides and helps restore threatened #corals? USGS calcification stations! @USGSCoastChange is attaching these cement blocks to the sea floor in @DryTortugasNPS to measure coral growth and recovery, informing #CoralReef #conservation! https://t.co/c2w6dLuNbe

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

New models developed with @USGS can help conservation efforts worldwide by locating #CoralReef “oases” - providing new hope for #coral communities in a changing #ocean.

Healthy coral reefs can serve as national, natural infrastructure, supporting critical biodiversity and reducing flood risks to coastal communities from storms and sea-level rise. Storlazzi's research was presented at an international symposium this week: https://t.co/cVyV5M2tzQ

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

👎 The bad news for Florida #coralreefs: #climatechange & other disturbances are causing less growth & more erosion.

👍 The good news: New research shows that #coralrestoration efforts could bring #coral reef growth back to historic levels!

Dinner with the CBRCN steering committee prior to the workshop tomorrow. Can’t wait to see all of the participants and have great discussions about the future of coral bleaching research. @CoralBleachRCN @NSF @osuresearch @OSUGlobal @osuearthscience @ICRSCoralReefs @ICRS_2022

[Grottoli Coral Lab @CoralResearch]

I am so proud of what we have accomplished in Coral Bleaching Research Coordination Network. Great Workshop today. @CoralBleachRCN @ICRS_2022 @NSF @ICRSCoralReefs @osuresearch @osuearthscience @OSUGlobal

[USGS Coastal Change @USGSCoastChange]

#CoralReefs are suffering due to multiple stressors, but there is hope for recovery. New @USGS science can help guide the way for restoration: https://t.co/8Dxt7PyOQz
