Saving Our Reefs: The Fight Against Coral Disease

On this expedition, we dive into the urgent battle against Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), a devastating epidemic threatening coral reefs across the Caribbean. Join us as we speak with leading scientists from the Perry Institute for Marine Science who are at the forefront of this critical research. Learn about the origins and impacts of SCTLD, the innovative methods being developed to combat it, and the vital role that coral reefs play in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. We also hear from the crew of the research vessel Andromeda, who provide an inside look at the logistical challenges and triumphs of conducting marine science at sea. Tune in to discover how collaborative efforts and groundbreaking research are striving to save these essential underwater habitats from unprecedented decline.
