Coral Breeding for a Healthier Reef | Miami News
Description
Scientists in Florida just pulled off a coral reef miracle—collecting over 108,000 larvae from rare synchronized spawning of endangered elkhorn and stag-horn corals. With 12 teams collaborating, they’re cross-breeding these resilient specimens to boost genetic diversity and help them survive warming, acidifying waters. The goal? Reintroduce these supercharged corals to Florida’s reefs within two years, offering new hope for marine ecosystems and coastal protection through science-driven conservation.
