Coral Spawning in Palau on Schedule

In a follow-up to yesterday’s post, the coral spawning in Palau occurred on schedule with the full moon. You can read a BBC report here. The BBC article doesn’t mention any details of the experiments going on to seed coral reefs, but let’s hope that the captive coral that they have been collected also spawned successfully and that the scientists involved were able to collect the larvae they need. Anyway there is quite a good description of the spawning, as well as a video on the BBC website.
