In collaboration with the CARMABI Foundation and the Curacao Sea Aquarium, SECORE carries out a multiyear coral restoration and research program in Curacao. This restoration workshop is an important part of this program. Participants are directly involved in observing the spawning of multiple coral species, collecting spawn in the field, and rearing larvae. The workshop includes lecture sessions and hands-on demonstrations from regional experts on coral reproduction, breeding, ecology, and restoration. Participants will not only have the chance to witness the mass spawning of many different coral species, they will also be directly involved in the outplanting of recruits as part of our restoration program.

Space is very limited, please register early to save your spot! If you are interested in joining the Curacao workshop or have any questions, please contact Aric Bickel at a.bickel@secore.org

For more information, visit our Curacao Workshop site.
