Title: “Challenges in conserving at-risk Acropora corals in a changing climate”
Speaker: Dr. Laurie Raymundo and Ashley Castro, Marine Laboratory, University of Guam.
Description: Guam’s 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’s 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, director of the Marine Laboratory at the University of Guam, will report on the successes and failures so far, and the research stimulated by this restoration effort that informs and improves Guam’s restoration science.
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.
