A coral in need is a coral indeed! 💚 Our larval seedboxes give millions of baby coral the time they need to settle, stick and star in a reef comeback story. Each seedbox holds concentrated larvae collected and cultured after mass spawning. We deploy them on degraded reefs, where larvae exit slowly, drift across large areas and settle where they’re most likely to survive. This approach has delivered up to 56 times more coral settlement, showing real promise for scaling up restoration. | CSIRO

A real smoke show. This is what coral spawning looks like for some coral species, not the classic pink bundles, but a hazy mist that drifts off like smoke. This one also chose to spawn the following early morning during first light, timing its release just after the big night time event. Some corals stagger their spawning to avoid the chaos of the mass spawn, giving their gametes a better chance by releasing them when the water is calmer and fewer other species are doing the same.
