Coral larval rearing to boost reef recovery
Ms Katie Chartrand
(Senior Researcher, James Cook University)
In a world first, millions of coral spawn were harnessed off Cairns late last year to regenerate coral on degraded reefs. Hear all about this amazing work and about future plans for spawn capturing, larval rearing and resettlement on the Great Barrier Reef.
Katie Chartrand has worked in tropical marine research for almost 13 years, integrating scientific discovery into better management of habitats at risk. She currently co-leads a project to boost coral abundance using millions of coral larvae to restore degraded reefs.
