October Slice of PI-CASC Seminar

October 1, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Mānoa Campus, 2525 Correa Rd, HIG 210

This month, the Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Science Center presents "Challenges in conserving at-risk Acropora corals in a changing climate" with Dr. Laurie Raymundo, director of the Marine Laboratory, University of Guam. Guam鈥檚 coral reefs have suffered an intense, 5-year period of annual mortality, triggering local scientists and managers to initiate a restoration program. They started with a focus on staghorn Acropora, as accessible, iconic ecosystem structurers on Guam鈥檚 shallow reef flats, with the plan to expand to other species and apply best practices developed during this first restoration stage. In this presentation, Dr. Laurie Raymundo will report on the successes and failures so far, and the research stimulated by this restoration effort that informs and improves Guam鈥檚 restoration science.
