Join Erinn Muller, Ph.D., Associate Vice President for Research, Program Manager for Coral Health and Disease, and Senior Scientist at Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, for a deep and engaging look at the future of coral reef restoration.

This presentation explores the innovative tools, techniques, and scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping how we protect and rebuild coral reefs in a rapidly changing ocean.

Recorded at the Climate Adaptation Center’s 5th Annual Florida Climate Forecast Conference: Climate and Biodiversity on November 13, 2025 at the USF Sarasota-Manatee Campus, this session provides full access to the same science and insight shared with conference attendees.

Dr. Muller explains:

• How climate stressors are affecting coral health in Florida and beyond
• The newest intervention methods used to repair and strengthen reefs
• How selective breeding, microfragmentation, probiotics, and genetic approaches offer new hope
• What researchers are learning about coral disease and resilience
• How large-scale restoration can support fisheries, coasts, and ocean ecosystems
• Why innovation is essential as warming and bleaching events accelerate

This talk provides a clear and hopeful look at the work being done to save coral reefs and the science driving the next generation of restoration efforts. Whether you watch this today or discover it years from now, the research and strategies discussed remain central to understanding the future of reef health in a warming world.
