Our new perspective is out "An integrative framework for sustainable coral reef restoration" @OneEarth_CP - the need to build #reefrestoration around #sustainedfinancing & #socialecologicalsystems - most constructive reviews ever! 📷 @CoralNurture doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.202…

I'm excited to share that I'll be starting an Assistant Professor of Marine Biology position at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi this fall. Stay tuned for research updates, opportunities, and all things marine larval ecology and aquaculture! @IslandCampus @AFS_ELHS 📸 credit @morganbs7

Finally - mass synchronized #coralspawning at #Shushah #RedSea #KRRI @pedrohcp bang-on full moon - started early with 1 sp. but then kicked off collectively late evening. Incredible to see here for the first time. More to come as we refine timings/species. 📷 Alex Stead

I saw this crazy Red Sea troll snot a long time ago and never figured out exactly what it is. Some kind of sponge? Any ideas? #sciencetwitter #sponges #underwaterphotography

Sponges may be one of the most "primitive" multicellular animals, but their mechanisms for filter feeding are a wonder to behold. Here's an appreciation post for their critical contributions to reef ecology. Read more about these beauties at schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-…

Just back from a great week with the @KAUST_News #KRRI team in the northern Red Sea - only had a few minutes in the water but what we did see was stunning. Thrilled to see more!

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

Should we be #organic or #sustainable? Both are labeled “non gmo verified” and are otherwise identical? What’s a jasmine rice consumer to do??
