FutureReefsLab & Coral Nurture Program team members have been out this week rapidly assaying coral thermal tolerance to support choice selection in coral restoration. Great work Paige Strudwick Hadley England Christine Roper Lorna Howlett Wavelength Charters 🪸🪸🪸

Baptism by fire for the first two weeks of my new Post-Doc position with Coral Nurture Program Program and UTS Science. I am beyond grateful to the amazing team from FutureReefsLab and Wavelength Charters who lent a hand to make this huge reciprocal transplantation experiment possible!

A whirlwind few days in the field setting up a new Coral Nurture Program experiment phenotyping corals to help guide future selection of tolerant colonies, lead by FutureReefsLab's newest post-doc Paige Strudwick alongside Lorna Howlett Rachael Scott Hadley England on Wavelength Charters

Out with @PassionsReef yesterday for Coral Nurture Program deploying temperature loggers across CNP stewardship sites on the #GreatBarrierReef and spending some time out-planting nursery grown corals/fragments of opportunity! UTS Science #GenerationRestoration

If you missed it: We are honored to have received one of the 2023 Regional Awardsfrom the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER). Watch our award acceptance video here: vimeo.com/874796211/cae5… SERestoration #EcologicalRestoration #SERAwards #SER2023

Glad to say that our study on the viability of plastic-free alternatives in reef restoration propagation is now published! 🪸🦠 doi.org/10.1111/1758-2… @coralnurture UTS Science FutureReefsLab OMGlab #GenerationRestoration #GreatBarrierReef #CoralMicrobiome 1/3

🌊Exciting findings from my 1st first-author paper & PhD chapter! #Coralreef carbonate budgets can be enhanced through #coralrestoration 🙌Key metric to evaluate the success of interventions in recovering essential #ecosystemservices - wave attenuation🏝️ shorturl.at/fgE37

Great couple of weeks conducting Coral Nurture Program ecological surveys along the GBR. Glad to report minimal bleaching and good health of outplants in the Whitsundays however some fluorescing and paling already in the northern GBR (Port Douglas area). #GenerationRestoration

Rejuvenating and inspiring to attend the #ReefResilience24 symposium last week! Lorna Howlett Christine Roper and Paige Strudwick presenting on their research, our progress and future directions within Coral Nurture Program. @FutureReefsLab #GenerationRestoration #OceanDecade

Excited to have shared my 3rd PhD chapter on using a portable, high-throughput phenotyping device to guide coral stock selection during this week’s #reefresilience2024 symposium. It’s been an inspiring week following a tough summer for the GBR. FutureReefsLab Coral Nurture Program

🦠🔔New research from Dr Paige Strudwick in the CNP and FutureReefsLab team🔔🪸 We are always aiming to learn more about how our techniques relate to success from the tiny coral microorganisms to the wider impacts on ecosystem functioning. #microbiology #coralmicrobiome

Two of the Coral Nurture Program team, Cass and Emma Camp presented today on CNP work from the Cairns and Whitsundays region at the Australasian Coastal Restoration Network Conference.

Coral reefs support more than 1 billion people, so their loss would have significant ecological consequences as well as serious repercussions for communities worldwide. Check out our perspective on the link between reef consideration & human rights onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…
