Over half of coral reef cover across the world has been lost, and a further 70–90% of coral reefs are projected to decline at 1.5°C. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), restoration efforts and management approaches available for coral reefs, especially for the heat-resistant populations, are effective to sustain some coral ecosystems beyond 1.5°C of warming. However, actions must be taken from now on.
Delta equips these volunteers with the necessary skills to use available tools such as CoralNet, iNaturalist, and CoralWatch to enhance restoration efforts.
The goal is to determine how to optimize the LED lighting to accelerate coral settlement and growth rates.
Our goal is to partner with a molecular biology lab to jointly develop application software for calculating coral's bone mineral density.
This research focuses on surveying and cultivating heat-tolerant corals from the northeast coast using indoor coral farming.
To assess the coral reef fish community, the research team will employ a diving survey methodology to analyze species composition, resource quantity, and distribution information at each survey station.
The research focuses on heat-tolerant coral species, Pocillopora acuta, near the water outlet of the nuclear power plant.
