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?i鈥檚 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 鈥淪uper Corals鈥 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.
