Intervention and Selective Restoration for the Future of Hawaii's Coral Reefs

July 15, 3:30pm - 4:30am
Waikiki Aquarium Classroom - 2777 Kalakaua Avenue

Intervention and Selective Restoration for the Future of Hawai?iā€™s Coral Reefs
Kira Hughes, Program Manager, Hawai?i Institute of Marine Biology

The #1 threat to corals is thermal stress caused by CO2 emissions, which can result in coral bleaching and even death. This talk will dive deeper into solutions:

  1. how we create ā€œSuper Coralsā€ in the lab and
  2. how we identify corals that are naturally more resistant to thermal stress and selectively propagate those corals within the same bay.

We are launching a new project that will incorporate community participation, and hope that you will join us in these efforts to save our local reefs.
