🌏 Global Conservation Efforts
We contributed to marine protected area planning in the Chagos Archipelago, supported reef monitoring in Fiji, and expanded conservation efforts in the Red Sea through key partnerships with @cordap_ and @redseasaudi.

Why is our Exec Director at the SOS Ocean Meeting?

"I am here to launch an SOS for corals, which are at risk of global collapse. Science is part of the solution but a societal tipping point is required to ensure they remain healthy for generations to come: we must face our responsibility." Carlos D

With our @cordap.bsky.social funded COSMARINDO project we train Indonesian students in how to monitor coral reproduction.
