These monthly events are free to the public and will feature a presentation from a marine scientist followed by a question and answer session.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The June 16 presenter is Joey Mandara, Staff Biologist for Mote\u2019s Coral Reef Restoration Program. Mandara will explain Mote\u2019s signature reef-building technique, microfragmentation, used to grow and restore reef-building, massive corals. \u00a0By cutting multiple species of coral into small pieces in Mote\u2019s land-based nursery on Summerland Key, Mandara and colleagues accelerate the corals\u2019 growth and outplant the pieces to \u201cre-skin\u201d coral skeletons on natural reefs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the past decade, Mote scientists, such as Mandara, have grown and planted more than 35,000 corals onto Florida\u2019s reefs, working with multiple partners to achieve effective restoration. In May 2017, Mote opened its <a href=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/locations\/details\/international-center-for-coral-reef-research-and-restoration\">Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research &amp; Restoration (IC2R3)<\/a>, including the Alfred Goldstein Institution for Climate Change Studies, at its longstanding Summerland Key campus. IC2R3s expands Mote\u2019s scientific capabilities and coral restoration nursery space. Mandara has helped Mote\u2019s Coral Reef Restoration Program grow and continue to increase its microfragment production to meet to scaled-up demand for restoring increasingly threatened reefs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Attendees can learn more about Mote\u2019s Coral Reef Restoration Program \u00a0\u2014 specifically, an in-depth view of the microfragmentation process in Mote\u2019s land-based nursery and the outplant processes in local nurseries.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No RSVP is required. The lecture will start promptly at 5 p.m. Divers Direct is located at 535 Greene Street, Key West, FL 33040.
