Description

As the agency reported it.

University of miami and partners will implement and scale-up strategies to increase the heat tolerance of restored corals, by focusing on corals that survived the summer 2023 heating event and conditioning early life stages of corals to prepare them for warmer temperatures. The project will use its partner network to restore tens of thousands of corals at key sites in south florida and the florida keys, including mission: iconic reefs locations. Partners will also provide bilingual education and community science opportunities in seven south florida counties focused on how coral restoration contributes to creating healthy reefs that are part of floridas cultural identity.
