Mote Marine Laboratory was recently awarded a $300,000 grant from the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation to support Mote’s efforts in restoring the rapidly declining reef habitats within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The goals for this grant include microfragmenting coral in Mote’s inland coral nursery to support outplanting efforts, continuing genetic testing of coral to measure resiliency for future ocean conditions and training international researchers in reef restoration. These efforts will ultimately support Mote’s overall efforts to outplant a minimum of 25,000 corals in the coming year.
