#sundaymorning #ProjectCoral exSEAded our expectations! 😮🌊 Scientists at The Florida Aquarium’s Center for Conservation have made a critical coral research breakthrough, successfully inducing endangered Atlantic pillar coral to spawn through Project Coral. 🙌🌎 This was the world’s-first induced spawning of Atlantic corals in a laboratory, using specialized lights and systems that mimic the sun, moon and more. 🌅🌔 #ProtectAndRestore #FloridaAquarium #PillarCoral #CoralSpawn2019 #BreakthroughScience Thanks to our partners for making this work possible: @hornimanmuseumgardens, @noaafisheries, @nsuflorida, @noaasanctuaries, @southeastzooalliance, NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. This made we weep with tender joy. Thank you @floridaaquarium for much needed hope for our coral life, from a grateful #scuba diver @paditv & a @healthebay BoD member🙏🏻 🌊 🐠
