SUMMARY:Virtual Science Talks: Saving Coral Reefs in the Sunshine State
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the Smithsonian Environmental 
 Research Center's Virtual Science Talk "Saving Coral Reefs in the Sunshine 
 State\, with Mote Marine Laboratory". Special Thanks to the Smithsonian 
 Environmental Research Center for providing permission to screen their 
 content! \n\n \n\nFlorida's coral reefs have lost over 95% of their living 
 coral cover over the last 50 years and are on the brink of functional 
 extinction. In our first evening science talk of the year\, Erinn Muller 
 will reveal how scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory are meeting the dire 
 need for active coral restoration. She’ll touch on methods like coral 
 nursery rearing and outplanting\, and present the latest research helping 
 restored corals resist disease and adapt to climate change. She will also 
 highlight the importance of live coral biobanking and cryopreservation. In 
 the race against environmental degradation\, Mote scientists have created 
 an International Coral Gene Bank as a “Noah’s Ark for coral species 
 preservation.”\n\nImage credit: Staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) by
