#043 - Danwei Huang: Coral Reefs, Bleaching & Marine Conservation

Today, we talk with Danwei Huang, an associate professor in the Department of Biological Science at the National University of Singapore. His work focuses on the ecology, evolution, and conservation of coral reefs, aiming to uncover insights into their overall health. In this episode, we explore the human-induced factors affecting reefs, including coastal urbanization and reclamation projects, and their complex impact on coral reefs. Despite the challenges posed by rising sea surface temperatures and massive bleaching events, Danwei shares an optimistic view on the resilience of coral reefs. Emphasizing the critical role of collaborative data collection and the power of local initiatives in addressing a global issue, Danwei underscores the importance of community engagement in coral reef conservation.     This presentation is a service of Discovering Academia, and all information presented is for commercial and informational purposes only.  Discovering Academia provides no assurances as to the accuracy or completeness of the information presented and possesses no actual knowledge of any topic presented.
