Taronga's the leading organisation in #Australia applying cryopreservation technologies to #coralreef management, #restoration and research, for #ConservationManagement of the #GreatBarrierReef. Our Reef Recovery Project's been operating since 2011 smh.com.au/national/nsw/t… #RRAP
Taronga’s #reef recovery project is a model for similar approaches around the globe. Like any successful #conservation programs it requires ongoing commitment to understand the problem(s) & find integrated solutions in response to new challenges. doi.org/10.1016/j.cryo… #RRAP
Taronga’s team of biologists - working with the Smithsonian Institution, Australian Institute of Marine Science & @GBRFoundation - have studied species at annual spawning since 2011, focusing on cryobanking keystone #coral (species essential to #reef structure & function) #RRAP Image

Taronga’s #science team collaborates on programs that assess and maximise #GeneticDiversity in zoo-based, wild populations, & CryoDiversity Banks (frozen repositories), to promote population resilience & the capacity of species to adapt to change. #RRAP Image
#GeneticDiversity within #wildlife populations relates to long-term survival. Genes affect many things, including body size, #disease, tolerance of temperature extremes, all of which can be important for #CoralReef systems. #Coral #RRAP
Every animal - #frog, #coral or #rhino - is subtly unique and diversity is key for populations to thrive and be healthy. When populations become small and inbred, or ecosystems suffer too much #biodiversityloss, ecosystems collapse. #RRAP

Ever wonder about the hidden secrets of a #CoralReefs water column? Well #manta #mantaray and #TeamCoral and #TeamFish surely want to know about the available food to eat! There’s a lot of info hiding in plain sight in clear (ish), tropical waters (1/n) doi.org/10.1007/s00338…
Happy to share the 3rd paper from my PhD! Biogeochemical variability and trophic status of shallow and #mesophotic #CoralReef water column following a #coral bleaching event in the #Maldives (2/n) @CoralReefs_UQ @CoralCOE @SpringerCORE doi.org/10.1007/s00338…

Bending the curve of biodiversity, just published in @nature. What are the 6⃣ actions needed to make it happen? ⬇️
1⃣ - Sustainable increases in crop yields.
2⃣ - Trade increases in agricultural goods with reduced trade barriers.

THREAD: The largest study ever conducted of its kind has identified where and how to save #coralreef communities in the Indo-Pacific.

Lead author @emilysdarling of WCS explains.

The study involved the efforts of:
🖊️more than 80 authors
🐠who surveyed coral abundance on more than 2,500 reefs
🌏across 44 countries in the Indian and Pacific Oceans (2/3)
“The good news is that functioning coral reefs still exist, and our study shows that it is not too late to save them,” said WCS's @emilysdarling.
