Earlier this month, 51 staghorn corals made the journey from our partners at @reef_institute in West Palm Beach back home to our Tavernier Nursery.
Originally propagated in our ocean-based nurseries, these corals were cared for in The Reef Institute’s land-based biobank and are now rejoining our reef restoration efforts stronger than ever.

Science, lights, and coral growth 🌊🔬✨
This week, we’re teaming up with researchers from @osuearthscience @OhioState to continue our collaboration on the UZELA project.
We’ll be swapping out batteries on illuminated Orbicella trees, adding UZELA lights to select Acropora cervicornis trees, and collecting coral samples and photographs to measure growth over time.
These efforts help us understand how different restoration techniques are working and how to make them even better.
