#WHOI researchers, led by recent #MIT_WHOI grad Cynthia Becker, Ph.D., assessed the health of #USVI coral reefs by sampling microbial #eDNA ! The 7-yr study looked at changes during hurricanes and disease outbreak.

Today is a big day! The first work from my PhD thesis and my first first-author publication is out in Royal Society Publishing. We demonstrated for the first time that playing reef sounds to coral larvae can increase their settlement rates royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

🪸🐠🌊 #coralreefs are well represented at #OSM24 , with over 60 abstracts presented, many by early careers, and a fantastic turnout for our social. Proud to be part of a community pushing the boundaries of research to address the reef crisis! #givereefsachance

Congratulations Liz Kujawinski 🎉

🙌 New work led by Alicia Reigel showing coral-sponge interactions on #coralreefs with important conservation/restoration connections.

Thanks U.S. National Science Foundation for funding, support from Middle Tennessee State University Appalachian State Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Washington and Lee University @cofC, and amazing coauthors Cara Fiore Cole Easson Chris Freeman

NOAA is expanding our genetics/genomics team! We're interested in reaching a diverse pool of applicants - please share & RT! 🦐🐡🐋🧬

Just one of the examples of how NOAA needs to reimagine the toxic Coral-List ASAP!

Congratulations Molly Moynihan and wonderful to see a coral 🪸 microbiologist snag this award 🥇!!

#WHOI microbial ecologist Amy Apprill was at #COP28 last month to #SpeakForTheReefs , which are extremely vulnerable to climate-driven heating and disease.

Why is #COP28 important for corals?

Raquel Peixoto, Associate Professor of Marine Science at KAUST and CORDAP Scientific & Advisory Member shares her thoughts 👇

We know we need to work together to protect and restore corals. And the time for action is now 💪
