Slice of Paradise: Coral Microfragmentation – Key Largo

December 5 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Small, round coral colonies with brownish polyps grow in Mote's International Coral Gene Bank.

During this experience, guests will learn about endangered species of coral that are important to Florida’s Coral Reef, and microfragment coral that will eventually be planted on nearby reefs as soon as they grow to the perfect size within the on-site coral nursery. Guests will also get an up-close view and tour of Mote’s land-based satellite nursery and learn about various research happening by Mote scientists to ensure genetic diversity and resiliency-focused strategies that make up Mote’s science-based, innovative and unique restoration approach for Florida’s Coral Reef.

PLEASE NOTE: This program takes place in the FLORIDA KEYS at Mote’s Key Largo Coral Nursery, located on the property of Reefhouse Resort & Marina, 103800 Overseas Highway. Programs scheduled on Thursdays at 3 p.m.

Fee: $125 per person
