DESCRIPTION:Join us at FAU for a panel discussion from leading experts abou
 t the future of Florida's coral reefs.\n\nFlorida's coral reefs are invalua
 ble natural treasures facing unprecedented threats from disease\, climate c
 hange\, and pollution. This critical discussion brings together leading sci
 entists and conservation experts who are actively working to understand\, t
 reat\, and rebuild these vital ecosystems. Join our panelists as they take 
 you to the front lines of this crisis\, sharing groundbreaking research on 
 coral resilience\, disease resistance\, and innovative restoration techniqu
 es that are essential to securing the future of our oceans.\n\nDiscussion H
 ighlights\n\nBuilding Resilience into Coral Reef Communities: Dive into the
  science of coral survival. Experts will share research on identifying and 
 cultivating stress-tolerant "super corals" with enhanced disease resistance
 . This work provides the genetic foundation for strategically strengthening
  Florida's remaining reef communities against future changes.Innovative Cor
 al Restoration Techniques: Discover the advanced methods used to rebuild re
 efs\, including advanced outplanting and nursery strategies. Learn how scie
 ntists are creating and nurturing new reefs designed to survive rising ocea
 n temperatures\, new disease outbreaks\, and more frequent bleaching events
 .The Future of Coral Reefs in Florida: Get the latest assessment of Florida
 's reef health. This discussion will look forward\, exploring how the innov
 ative research and techniques (e.g.\, "super corals") are being applied to 
 give our reefs a long-term prognosis for recovery and survival.Schedule\n\n
