Early successes (Part 1):
Scientists used frozen coral sperm from Curaçao, Florida & Puerto Rico to fertilize Curaçao coral eggs, achieving 37–99% fertilization rates, even across isolated coral populations.

But they don’t stop at the threshold. They also track how quickly corals get there, and how well they bounce back. That paints a fuller picture of resilience, not just survival, but recovery.

What do drug trials and coral reefs have in common? More than you’d think. 🧪🌊 Dr. DeVant’e Dawson’s SuperReefs work is using a medical science tool (ED₅₀) to uncover how coral species handle heat stress. Here’s how it works:
