Those colonies are the first ones to enter the Noah\u2019s ark of corals we will implement, using the public aquarium network all around the world. We supplied technical assistance to the mission organized by British scientists from the ZSL and Horniman Museum in the Chagos archipelago to collect and send to the UK 12 colonies of <em>Ctenella chaguis<\/em> brain corals form conservation and preservation before a potential predicted extinction in the wild.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Great Barrier Reef<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreverreef.org\/\">Great Barrier Reef Legacy<\/a>: We have made significant inroads in collecting nearly 50% of Great Barrier Reef coral species, while also building state-of-the-art facilities to hold and maintain living coral fragments for their ultimate conservation and to make live coral, tissue samples, and genetic material available for reef research and restoration efforts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Florida<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/\"><strong>Mote Marine Laboratory<\/strong><\/a>: September 2024: In a remarkable advancement for coral conservation, Mote Marine Laboratory has successfully achieved the spawning of <em>Eusmilia fastigiata<\/em>, commonly known as smooth flower coral, with parent colonies settled just 22 months prior under managed care. <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/news\/mote-marine-laboratorys-international-coral-gene-bank-achieves-breakthrough-coral-spawning-success-with-rarely-propagated-species\/\">Read the full announcement<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/\">Mote Marine Laboratory<\/a>: On October 19th 2022, we successfully settled <em>Eusmilia fastigiata<\/em> larvae, a critically endangered species, and over and year later we still have recruits that are thriving. As of August 2023, Mote\u2019s International Coral Gene Bank successfully implemented cryopreservation of coral sperm of two species that were spawned at the Gene Bank. In anticipation of the devastating summer bleaching event, Mote\u2019s International Coral Gene Bank obtained <em>Acropora cervicornis<\/em> and <em>Acropora palmata<\/em> \u201cfounder\u201d genotypes, those most unique within Florida\u2019s state and practitioner-wide inventory, for preservation and protection of these important genotypes. Through its partnership with the CBA and AVID ID, Mote\u2019s International Coral Gene Bank has developed a technique for using RF ID tags for coral fragment identification, streamlining the process of tracking important genotypes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Return to Coral Biobank Alliance Home Monaco World Coral Conservatory: During our 2022 mission to Aldabra in the Seychelles, we managed to collect 58 coral colonies, representing 21 species,&nbsp;<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14994,"parent":14940,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14978","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Coral Biobank Alliance - Success Stories | Mote Marine Laboratory &amp;
