To help corals survive warming temperatures, we are investigating new ideas 🔬
For example, introducing beneficial bacteria that are naturally found inside corals and help them survive heat stress.
But how do we get these microbes to stay with the coral long term? That’s where Talisa Doering’s research comes in.
“Because if we can identify beneficial bacteria for corals that can stay with them for longer timeframes, we can improve coral heat tolerance without having to add those bacteria regularly,” Talisa explains.
“And this would really help with the cost and scalability of reef restoration solutions.”
