Thrilled to share our new paper in @iScience_CP, showing how Turbinaria reniformis corals fine-tune their microskeletal architecture with depth, boosting light capture up to 2.7× in mesophotic corals!

🪸 📣Can healthy reef sounds help baby corals find a home? A new study led by Scripps Oceanography scientists with @ReefEngineers & the Thode Environmental Acoustics Lab says yes! Tune into the @acousticsorg meeting tomorrow at 9 a.m. PT to learn more! ⬇️

🚨 Big leap for coral restoration:
We developed "SNAP-X", a hybrid material that mimics healthy reef cues to drive coral recruitment 20x higher than controls.

Excited to share our research @ACSPublications!
We developed "coral-guards"—fouling-prevention coatings that reduce algal overgrowth, supporting coral reef resilience

Coral propagation just got a boost! Walton et al. developed a hypersalinity protocol to create coral micropropagates with high attachment rates.

Huge thanks to @IAmASTEM for breaking stereotypes in STEM and igniting a passion for science in the next generation! This project was a blast, and I hope it inspires students to forge their own unique paths – it’s ok to not fit in. @SOAlliance
What do spicy Thai food, surfing, and 3D printed artificial coral have in common?
They're some of our newest Spotlight's favorite things!
