Description

As the agency reported it.

Nova southeastern university working with mote marine laboratory, the florida aquarium, and the university of north carolina, wilmington will conduct a set of coordinated and parallel studies across the four land-based coral nursery facilities to test and compare the impact of different light treatments on early growth for least two reef-building coral species endemic to florida. These institutions will test the effect of artificial light that mimics the light spectrum at the reef depth and use a preset light spectrum and compare these with natural light in order to determine the optimal settings to enhance growth reduce land-based rearing time of young corals for coral reef restoration. They will also characterize the microbiome and symbiont composition in the young recruits in each facility.
