🌕 After the full moon, corals on the GBR release millions of gametes in a stunning “underwater snowstorm.”

At SeaSim, we replicate natural cues like light, temp, & lunar cycles to study coral reproduction, resilience, & restoration.

The full moon is tonight & we’re ready for #Spawnathon2025

🪸 Handle with care, precious corals have arrived at SeaSim for #Spawnathon2025!

Our facility is designed to mimic the exact conditions that trigger #spawning These capabilities allow researchers to study #coral breeding, resilience, and restoration, supporting world-class reef science at #AIMS. 🌊

🔬🌕 Preparations are in full swing for #Spawnathon2025!

Our newly expanded facility is being fine-tuned. From plumbing, construction, and programming, our technicians are working to create perfect conditions for coral spawning after the full moon on Nov 4.

Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates!

The Coral Growout Robotic Assessment System (CGRAS) has arrived at AIMS! Developed by QUT, this AI-powered system tracks & monitor coral larvae during coral spawning to support reef restoration efforts.
