Really nice to see good signs of Acropora palmata recovery on Anguilla following the impact of hurricane Irma 6 years ago. We estimated that 25-30 genetes are growing well in the shallow reef on the west coast.

The Earth has just completed the warmest month that humans have ever directly measured. All of human civilization was built during a climate that no longer exists due to the global warming from man-made greenhouse gases. berkeleyearth.org/july-2023-temp…

🪸🔥 Significant #coral #bleaching is also occurring in Bahia Almirante, Bocas del Toro, Panama - but it is very species- and site-dependent, with brain corals being most affected...😰 Smithsonian Bocas Station @FAME_IBED_UvA

Excited to share this preprint about a new #extreme and marginal #coral environment in the southern Caribbean! Amazing work by Master students Chiara de Jong, iris van os and Guadalupe Sepulveda - especially given that all fieldwork was done during 2020!! tinyurl.com/4yxbktzn

In January, ACRS will open the call for applications for the Student Research Awards that will support research of up to five students. Applications will open on the 25th January and close 1st March. Photo credits to D. Juszkiewicz

Amazing welcome opening at ECRS 2024! Grateful and honored to be on stage tomorrow 3th of July to present my last master thesis, stay tuned💫12:24💫
