Amazing workshop on Climate Change Genomics, certainly getting outside of my comfort zone. Eye-opening talks on methods, evidence and applications to understand and predict future ecosystems including corals @BES_EGG @LineKBay

Here is an 8-day old sea urchin larva spawned in @SeaSim_AIMS this year. At 15-days they begin settling on the reef before metamorphosing into the ball of spines they're known for. We’re researching if they can adapt to future climate conditions across generations.

New research shows clear evidence for uptake of environmental microalgal symbionts by adult #corals. Great work from Hugo Scharfenstein, @spectacularia, @WingYChan1, @BuergerPatrick & @craigio70 of @Seasim_AIMS #RRAP #reeftrust ➡️nature.com/articles/s41396-0… – at Townsville, Queensland

Back from Davies Reef after another census of the coral fragments deployed in August’2021. What we are seeing is definitely promising! - Wulgurukaba/Bindal Sea Country - @aims_gov_au @SeaSim_AIMS #antifouling #restoration #RRAP

Ripper day for these corals, born in November, to be returned to the reef! How will they do across a wave-energy gradient? Stay tuned as we watch them over the next year! Great work @saskiajurriaans @CS_InWaves & team! @aims_gov_au #RRAP

These Woppaburra juvenile coral recruits, identified in our recent surveys, give me hope for the next generation. We need to manage climate change and local stressors for these juveniles to thrive. #WCP #KICP @aims_gov_au @bhp #ACRRI @DrCathiePage @ChristineGiul11 @CS_InWaves

.@la__cientifica and team searched the northern #GreatBarrierReef for heat resilient corals colonies. They're exploring assisting gene flow as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program. @envirogov @GBRFoundation #RRAP #ReefTrust theguardian.com/environment/…

Great Barrier Reef: how a spectacular coral spawning event is helping to breed heat-tolerant corals

Scientists have carefully collected spawn bundles by moonlight in a bid to help save the reef

The acroporids always know how to put on a show under the red light! The spawning continues on night 6 as we fill the nursery with growing embryos for experimental field deployments @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au #ReefTrust #spawnathon2021

Check out this amazing sterile zone! Coral spawning is a quick way to visualize growth over the last year or so. These Woppaburra corals grow exceptionally fast, and make beautiful bundles 🎁 @aims_gov_au #KICP #ACRRI #spawnathon2021 @DrCathiePage @ChristineGiul11 @CS_InWaves
