News in the Miami Herald about corals that survived the recent bleachings in Florida also includes a shout out from our colleague Andrew Baker at the University of Miami about Tela’s corals.
“Baker’s own lab recently received coral sperm and eggs that traveled on a 15-hour flight from Honduras. Introducing Honduran coral genes to Florida could help local coral survive even warmer waters. ‘The question is, as we enter this new era of rapid climate change, how severe will these heatwaves get,” Baker said, “and how much can the corals, even the ones we reproduce, take?'”
