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.

Some great work by @ChandlerJosie and team. 4k video workflows to image 40+ conlonies per dive and predict 3D surface area from rapid 1D field measures for a wide range of corals! @CoralReefEcoLab @burn_deborah @PeterCDoll Agus Piccaluga Abby Johnades.

[NOAA Coral Program @NOAACoral]

@NOAA has just announced 27 new projects funded by the Coastal Habitat Restoration and Resilience Grants for Tribes and Underserved Communities! Many focus on coral conservation, but there’s a lot more to explore.

[G20 CORDAP @CORDAP_]

CALLING ALL CORAL RESEARCHERS!

📣 The Coral Accelerator Program (CAP) 2024 is now open 📣

CORDAP is seeking the best minds worldwide to secure a safe future for corals. We encourage teams with concepts that cross different disciplines and fields to participate.

International research teams should be collaborative, innovative and passionate about finding scalable solutions to protect and restore these incredible ecosystems. Proposed technologies should be scalable and affordable to those who need them most.

International teams should include:

👉 At least three members: one Lead Applicant and a minimum of two Co-Applicants
👉 Organisations from at least two different countries, including one low or middle-income country.
Successful applicants can receive up to USD$ 1.5 million per project.

The deadline for submission is October 21, 2024. A Q&A webinar will take place September 18, 2024, UTC and UTC.

Our research titled "Induced sexual reproduction ex situ reveals bidirectional sex change of the coral Montastraea cavernosa" was published in Coral Reefs https://t.co/gRjJHCtk7z Check it out!

We love seeing our coral babies grow! These are 1-year-old recruits that we produced last summer and kept safe at our ocean-based coral nursery.

[Prof. Michael Sweet @DiseaseMatters]

Fantastic to work with researchers @soneva on this study which looked at how Cushion sea-star removal could be used to enhance coral restoration practices and limit background mortality on recovering reefs @DerbyUni

Curious about how coral larvae respond to moving substrate? Check out our recent paper in Coral Reefs: https://t.co/J3iWxmISXN

Turns out corals can settle on constantly moving substrate & routinely settle on loose rubble! #ACRRI @aims_gov_au @bhp @DrCathiePage @ChristineGiul11

[Christian R Voolstra @reefgenomics]

new work led by @Ronen_Liberman as a research visit to my lab https://t.co/EpXGwd01QP in a nutshell: whatever zoox are there will be taken up by coral larvae, while host ID determines what is kept .. you can use coral larvae as a sieve to assay env. zoox diversity! @UniKonstanz

Prospective students looking for labs in Fall 2024 - watch this sheet for a list of PIs who are recruiting but be sure to do your due diligence in vetting the PI/lab/program! https://t.co/u4PY5cQ4en

[MBARI @MBARI_News]

The Octopus Garden captured the curiosity of millions of people around the world. MBARI and its advanced deep-sea technology have helped @bbcearth share the story of these deep-sea octopus moms as part of their new series, Planet Earth III.

“We can say with near certainty that 2023 will be the warmest year on record, and is currently 1.43 ℃ above the pre-industrial average…. The sense of urgency for ambitious climate action going into Cop28 has never been higher.” https://t.co/I81w4uQ2Yx

[DaisyBuzzoni @DivingMsDaisy]

Excited to share this paper co-authored with great mentors @jrcunning & @coralprof. “The role of background algal symbionts as drivers of shuffling to thermotolerant Symbiodiniaceae following bleaching in three Caribbean coral species”https://t.co/HnuAVtm2Iv

[Carly Randall @DrCarlyRandall]

Really stoked to finally share this preprint, 4 years in the making, that characterizes larval precompetency periods and settlement responses for 25 GBR coral species. @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au

Nice to see another co-culture study highlighting the benefits of urchins for coral restoration with ex situ spawning https://t.co/p2kroz8UzY. We first proposed this back in 2019 https://t.co/naNixY3dvD and stand by the importance for increasing survivorship & growth of recruits.
