Latest Science

• Heat, human, hydrodynamic, and habitat drivers measured from space correlate with metrics of reef health across the South Pacific

  This paper in Coral Reefs, utilized the Living Oceans Foundation’s Global Reef Expedition field dataset to build a model that can predict coral cover and other metrics of coral reef health using open-source satellite data.

🪸 Scientists are trying to mitigate the decline of corals. One way to do this is to grow and “plant” them. Coral ecologists grow corals in nurseries created either on land or in the ocean. As with most plants, you can break a leaf off and grow it into a whole new plant. The same process can be used to grow coral. When a piece of a coral is broken off, it can be regrown into another coral, and when they are large enough, they are transplanted from the nursery to the coral reef. #FactFriday Learn more about how people are using #CoralGardening for #HabitatRestoration on our Education Portal at https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/education/portal/ , or by checking out our friends at Coral Gardeners!📷 : James Byrne ...

It's time for us to build 'cathedrals' for conservation. These 'cathedral' projects are so big and bold they will not be able to be completed in our lifetime, or in our children's lifetime, but will benefit all for many generations to come. It’s time to start planning for the next thousand years. Let's start today. #30x30 #HalfEarth #oceanoptimismWhat would it take to build the cathedrals of our environmental future? Find out more about this concept in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/12/19/climate-change-cathedral-project/[“The climate needs big, public, audacious goals that everyone can contribute to,” says Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. “Cathedrals were not completed in the lifetime of anyone starting them, but communities bought into these projects.” Everything from rebuilding coral reefs and reforesting the Amazon to repowering the world’s energy system and capturing gigatons of carbon dioxide could be the cathedrals of our time. We should portray them as bold, transcendent projects for the collective good that encompass generations.] 📷: Jurgen Freund/iLCP taken on our #GlobalReefExpedition mission to the #GreatBarrierReef ...
