Reproduction and Evolutionary Ecology-Fogarty Lab

Happy World Reef Awareness Day!! 🎊🪸

Recently, we've had a ton of new followers so if you're new, thank you for your interest in our work and here's an overview of the types of things we focus on! Specifically, we focus on land-based coral spawning in four priority species (designated by the state of Florida based on disease risk and ecosystem necessity) and researching strategies to maximize coral propagation at every life stage. Our PI, Dr. Nikki Fogarty, has over 25 years of experience in coral propagation and we have an amazing team of technicians, graduate students, and undergraduate students that make it all happen! Land-based coral spawning and propagation is a relatively small but expanding field, and we're lucky to be able to contribute in so many ways and collaborate with other amazing organizations working on the same goals of reef restoration & resilience! 💪🏼
