Project title:
Critical population thresholds to ensure coral recovery on the Great Barrier Reef
Project description:
This project seeks to improve understanding of the drivers and limitations to the early stages of recovery for spawning corals, specifically during fertilisation and embryogenesis. Our findings will parameterise coral spawning models and will help to guide effective management and restoration which promotes natural coral recovery.
Funding:
