Daly et al. (2026, preprint) found that cryopreserved coral sperm performed comparably to fresh sperm, with fertilisation up to 96%. A promising step for scaling coral larval production. Link below!

Scientists have found corals that are likely resistant to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease! Findings like this help expand the #coralrestoration “toolbox” and give reefs a better shot at recovery.

Scientists have confirmed a deep-water reef ecosystem off Benin, with corals and reef fish documented >50m below the surface. A hopeful reminder of how much remains to discover—and protect.

If you’ve not heard 👉🏼 ~166,000 km² of coral reefs may have higher potential to survive and recover from climate stress.
They still need protection, but this helps focus conservation where it may matter most 💫

Researchers have developed an AI-assisted system that can rapidly detect illegal blast-fishing activity from underwater recordings. Quicker interventions can now be implemented to protect reefs at risk.

75 reef responders across 4 Caribbean countries have been trained to support coral recovery after hurricanes.
Local capacity can mean faster action when reefs need it most.
