While in Anguilla conducting coral reef surveys, it was great to take a day out and enjoy the Carnival celebrations. What a spectacle of colour, sound and exuberance! Canon EMEA Pro Canon R5, Canon RF 24-105mm f4.0, 1/125, f4.0 ISO125

Look into the eye of the manatee and realize it’s been living in water temps around 90F for more than a month straight. The corals are not okay. The seagrass is not okay. This could be the coolest summer of the future. This is a climate emergency🔥〰️🐮〰️🔥 #coralcitycamera

The facts on our govn’s weakening of environmental protection rules 👇🏽 The scientific evidence is clear. You cannot separate this from the political actions that destroy nature. No org. calling for evidence-based env. protection should ever be penalised. wildlifetrusts.org/blog/ali-morse…

Just prepping a few things before we start in full swing tomorrow - Dr Jamie Craggs maps out what we are predicting will spawn and when. With a focus on the massives, it is going to be very interesting in what we see and when they go CoralSpawningLab University of Derby

How the mighty have fallen - they’ve survived everything we’ve thrown at them (for years on years) but these stunning corals just can’t beat the heat - Cayman is experiencing its hottest and prolonged sea surface temperatures in recorded history and the corals bare ‘white’ness!

Taking a moment to say good bye to this old beaut - she/he/them has seen a lot but is succumbing to our changing climate. This one is clinging on but like it’s cousins it can only do so for so long and time is running out - CoralSpawningLab University of Derby 📷 Dr Jamie Craggs

A nice piece in National Geographic on how tourism can aid biodiversity - leverage the funding for example to deliver on innovative strategies such as our very own CoralSpawningLab.

Tending to the babies from yesterdays ex situ spawn AND last nights in situ collection Cayman Islands Department of Environment’s - a CoralSpawningLab workshop in the Caribbean. With Dr Jamie Craggs University of Derby

It was a pleasure to meet His Majesty’s the Kings representative in the Cayman Islands, Governor Jane Owen (the de fecto head of state). She came to listen to our plans to save Caribbean coral reefs and have a tour around the Cayman Islands Department of Environment facility we built a few months back.

At the Horniman Museum and Gardens we've been predictably spawning corals for the past decade, allowing us to support and collaborate with fascinating coral research projects, and this latest is by Vengamanaidu M & Eleanor Gilbert MBA - Marine Biological Association. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Combining science and comedy is great way to engage people about nature and nobody does it better than True Facts by Ze Frank. His latest video explores the beauty of corals and CoralSpawningLab was really happy to contribute to this project. Canon EMEA Pro #TritonReef youtu.be/eyp1CakqNNc?si…

Growing up, the iconic National Geographic images of Valerie Taylor in her chain mail suit with Blue Sharks was a major inspiration for me, so diving with these beautiful sharks today was special for me. Canon EMEA Pro Canon 5D MKIII, Canon Fisheye zoom EF8-15mm 1:4, f / 6.3, 1/400, ISO800

Great to arrive in Tabuk. We are visiting NEOM tomorrow to launch and begin our new project on seagrass restoration and conservation along with discussions on how CoralSpawningLab can facilitate large scale coral restoration projects. University of Derby Kara Rising

We are very exciting to be playing our part in restoration and rehab of coral and seagrass in this region. Some exciting projects will be developed over the next three years bringing the tech and capacity to the ground teams enabling them to scale up processes across the board!

Meanwhile. In Argentina. Huge wildfire advancing on city of Villa Carlos Paz. We have to lean into the discomfort of this new reality we’ve made for ourselves, find a community and act. With action hope is everywhere. #ClimateEmergency

We’ve been up to something again today - filming a little documentary with Canon EMEA at the CoralSpawningLab base camp
