Massive congrats @Eslam_O_Osman@peixotors and such an incredible team for capturing spatial variation in coral spawning timing in the Red Sea - read it here: https://t.co/jafllSvUep A particular shout out to all those "on the ground" and their tireless efforts over many nights
🎯Three research teams collaborated to watch coral "SEX" ♂️♀️ along the #RedSea to unlock #spawning calendar essential for ongoing #restoration efforts. SST plays a pivotal role in determining the spawning season. Check our latest 🪸🪼

@LiamLachs@Coralassist_Lab@fromNCLpodcast That's always the case isn't it! But such good practice to communicate your science! LOVED the podcast, good luck with finishing off your PhD, AND congrats on your upcoming post-doc, very exciting!
Coral reef restoration is increasingly popular as a management intervention. But what is (and isn’t) effective reef restoration? Join our #RCUK2023 coral reef restoration workshop to learn more! Register here: https://t.co/Y2HYKGRAGI
One of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coast of Ireland and the UK, with water temperatures as high as 4-5°C above normal.
NOAA's Marine Heatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.
+++ Call for Action +++
We call everyone with access to 🪸reefs to observe, tag and report (non-)bleached corals of their local reefs during the anticipated event via https://t.co/s1g8McHRNr

Finally - mass synchronized #coralspawning at #Shushah#RedSea#KRRI@pedrohcp bang-on full moon - started early with 1 sp. but then kicked off collectively late evening. Incredible to see here for the first time. More to come as we refine timings/species. 📷 Alex Stead
Our new paper shows tourism led out-planting activity can significantly increase hard coral cover at select #GreatBarrierReef sites! Huge thank you to tourism partners: @PassionsReef, @WavelengthReef, Ocean Freedom, @sailawayaristos and Great Adventures

A multi-year stress experiment reveals that broadcast spawning coral colonies exposed to a marine heatwave shift their reproductive strategy towards smaller (but more) eggs, conferring resilience to subsequent thermal stress. 🪸
