Excited to share our latest publication on coral walking! 🪸📽️ High-res analysis reveals how corals move and 'see' blue light to navigate.
Thanks to @PLOSONE & my co-authors @DavidJSuggett, Luke Nothdurft, and @PeterPrentis!

Excited to have contributed to this new resource - setting a baseline for #reefrestoration terms and definitions - consistency is central to how activities scale with effectiveness and rigor.
Coral reef restoration is expanding worldwide 🌍, with that comes a growing web of complex terms and definitions.
After years of work, the CRC is excited to SHARE "A User’s Guide to Coral Reef Restoration Terminologies" 📝

Latest in @NatureClimate: Can coral reef restoration really save our oceans?
Leading researchers including KAUST's @peixotors @DavidJSuggett and Tom Moore dive into the science behind these bold efforts, highlighting successes, challenges, and why we can't afford to wait.

ALERT critical paper on coral reef restoration/conservation!!! @NatureClimate
It is (sadly) easier to sell disaster than solutions... but the solutions exist (and are not mutually exclusive!) and are being continuously developed and optimized.

📢New Paper Alert📢
on corals and climate change in @ScienceMagazine
Adaptation via natural selection could determine whether Acroporacorals persist under expected levels of global warming

Everyone has a role to play in how restoration can effectively aid in securing a future for coral reefs - our new paper @NatureClimate rdcu.be/d1S5K is a timely reminder why restoration is a much needed and uniting tool whilst we fight climate change

Summaryon selective breeding corals for heat tolerance at @ConversationUK
What did we find?
There is scope to assist evolution of corals with selective breeding, but we still gotta cut emissions, and fast!

We published a thorough review of coral clonal growth and a new universal model of coral clonal growth on the same day (yesterday):

Most incredible science discovery this decade! Changes every textbook. Manganese nodules produce oxygen in the #deepsea!!? These are the nodules targeted for mining… they make oxygen… 😳🤯 @DeepSeaPod @DSBSoc @BBCMorelle bbc.com/news/articles/c728ve…
