Reef Futures 2021 Symposium harnesses multi-disciplinary perspectives to generate new solutions for restoring coral reefs

KEY LARGO, FLORIDA, USA, May 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Interdisciplinary experts are invited to gather in Key Largo, Florida for Reef Futures 2021, from December 13-17, 2021 to share critical solutions for restoring the world’s coral reefs and build upon connections made during the first symposium in 2018.

Coral Restoration Consortium (CRC) is again bringing together coral restoration practitioners, researchers, students, and engineers from around the world. These specialists will spend a week exploring cutting-edge techniques, new research, and lessons learned. The goal of the Symposium is to escalate the restoration of coral reefs to scales relevant to their roles of protecting coastlines, supporting fisheries, and serving as economic engines for coastal communities.

Information will be exchanged among this international and interdisciplinary group through hands-on workshops, plenary sessions where all will learn together, and concurrent sessions where attendees will learn about specific advancements in a variety of topics including genetic management, cryopreservation, in-water and land-based coral husbandry, engineering and innovation, and monitoring best practices.

CRC encourages participation from grassroots practitioners, topical experts, research scientists, community leaders, and anyone involved in coral restoration activities anywhere in the world. CRC invites submissions for talks, posters, and workshops from a variety of backgrounds and geographies inside and outside of traditional coral reef science (e.g. engineering, robotics, communications, community engagement, etc.).

Early registration is now open! Visit reeffutures.com to learn more.
