In this session, the students participating will learn what coral researchers at FWC do to better understand and protect coral reefs. The presentation will begin with a quick introduction on what a coral is, the environment in which they successfully grow, and different threats to corals. Then we will transition into a brief time line of events that have had major impacts to Florida reefs, ultimately addressing why monitoring of coral reefs is important.
