🌊We can save #coralreefs with science. Our scientists are trying to protect and make healthier corals. They are helping the same species of coral living in different parts of the ocean breed. They hope the offspring will be more resistant to bleaching and disease. The researchers used more than 150,000 live eggs collected from endangered elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) in Curaçao and fertilized them with frozen elkhorn coral sperm collected from three places in the Caribbean—Florida, Puerto Rico and Curaçao. The frozen sperm from each of the three populations successfully fertilized the live eggs, and the team transported 20,000 larvae to Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Florida and The Florida Aquarium Center for Conservation for settlement and rearing. The 1-month-old coral “recruits” represent one of the largest living wildlife populations ever created from cryopreserved material. 🌎#WeSaveSpecies #EarthDay #EarthOptimism
