Threats to coral are increasing and the involvement of the local community is imperative. With funding through NOAA’s underserved community grants, Kuleana Coral Restoration graduated their first cohort of local and Native Hawaiian ocean conservationists.
Results reveal how large-scale ocean-climate interactions affect reef ecosystems thousands of kilometers away and provide a valuable framework for identifying reefs that may benefit from such biophysical linkages during future bleaching events.

An infographic showing how characteristics of four ESA-listed corals change with depth and are impacted by light levels and wave energy. It also lists key threats to corals and the importance of corals for coastal protection, habitat, and the economy.
A study documenting how nutrients are distributed within coral reef developments for better understanding of how to make coral reefs more resilient to stressors.
