Join us in person or online for our monthly seminar series, Slice of PI-CASC!
Date: November 12, 2024 at 12 p.m.
Title: “Ecological & socio-cultural response to transplanting corals to enhance reef resilience”
Speaker: Dr. Crawford Drury and Kira Hughes, Coral Resilience Lab, HIMB, UH Mānoa
Description: This project aims to characterize how coral thermal tolerance is conserved across space and time using a fully-crossed reciprocal transplant. This includes 1) exploring the utility of translocation as a tool to enhance reef resilience and adaptive coastal protection under climate change and 2) determining the sociocultural perspectives to potential human intervention strategies in coral restoration. Dr. Crawford Drury and Kira Hughes will share preliminary results from an ongoing coral transplant between bays and highlight the activities that have strengthened pilina (relationships) with community members.
This will be a hybrid event: guests are encouraged to attend in-person at the Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics (HIG) building, room 210, on the UH Mānoa campus. Lunch is provided for the first 25 guests.
