Voice of the Sea YouTube Watch Party

August 10, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Mānoa Campus, online

In this episode of Voice of the Sea, we talk with researchers working on the Reefense R3D Project to develop a hybrid living and artificial reef that dissipates wave energy and protects the shoreline, while also providing habitat for corals, fishes, and other marine life. We head to the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology to learn about the research and check out innovative technologies, from selective breeding of resilient corals to underwater hydrophones that attract marine life to the reef. We talk with R3D project director, Ben Jones, from the University of Hawaii Applied Research Lab; Kira Hughes, Rob Toonen, Crawford Drury, and Joshua Madin from the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology; and Aaron Thode and Daniel Wangpraseurt from the University of California, San Diego.
