Big congratulations to FutureReefsLab MSc Student Rachael Scott on her Stage 3 Presentation 👏 incredible talk on the Cost-efficiency of Tourism-led Mass Coral Re-planting on the Great Barrier Reef! Coral Nurture Program 🪸💰

Morning coffee with a heavy dose of climate anxiety, feeling for everyone going through the devestating reef declines in Florida. 💙 Sending love from Australia

Good work from a German ad agency which reads 'protect the wildlife before it's too late'

The marine heatwave in Florida is brutal - it’s been truly heartbreaking diving our outplant sites these past few days. In just 3.5 weeks, many of our Acerv outplants have bleached completely, and chances of recovery are slim - the hottest months of the year still lie ahead…

Coral reef restoration has not failed.

Thanks to all the efforts that for decades, several restoration practitioners and management agencies have undertaken to propagate these two species, we may have saved these species from local extinction!

Very surreal to press ‘submit’ on my thesis today! A day I’ve been anticipating for the past (almost) 4 years. 🎉🥹🪸🧫💙
Time to process, decompress and breathe a little (and eat copious amounts of delicious food).
