The Florida Aquarium Joins Statewide Effort to Create the Next Generation of Florida’s Coral Reef
Bringing years of expertise in breeding and raising corals, four coral experts from The Florida Aquarium joined 11 other leading scientific and conservation organizations in what may be one of the largest collaborative coral conservation efforts to ever happen in Florida. Over 12 nights in the Florida Keys, the teams worked together to collect eggs and sperm from Elkhorn coral colonies grown by Reef Renewal USA and held in their ocean-based coral nursery offshore of Tavernier in the Upper Florida Keys. The team created new genetic crosses and preserved genetic diversity that could be critical to the reef’s future. The effort produced 61,000 elkhorn coral larvae and 101 new genetic crosses, including combinations of parent corals that have never been made before.
