#ReefResilience
As sea fans sway with the current, their roots grip the reef, reminding us to anchor in the present, where every wave brings new life.

The problem isn’t “wild vs captive.” It’s how to make both work.
🪸 Managed wild harvests that support locals
🐟 Scaled aquaculture for high-demand species
💡 Transparent labeling
That’s the reef-friendly future.

From Lady Musgrave to Lizard Island, manta tow surveys on the GBR or NW Hawaiian Island are part of how we know what’s happening beneath the surface.
It’s fast, it’s a little wild, and it works.
Just don’t splash too much.

Dr. DeVant’e Dawson lit us up last Thursday with real talk on reef resistance, community resilience, and why hope isn’t just alive, it’s adaptive. If you care about coral reefs and social justice, this is the kind of leadership we need. Here’s a recap: 🌊✊🏽 #OceanHoptimism #ReefResilience #BlackInSTEM
Huge thanks to Stanford postdoctoral researcher & coral scientist Dr. DeVant’e Dawson for joining us last night. He brought science, heart, and a whole lot of clarity to the future of coral reef resilience and who must be at the table to shape it. 🌊🧠🫶

This morning we asked:
Can an algorithm measure reef beauty? (Yes.)
Do people still find beauty in restored reefs? (Also yes.)

Different methods, same result: Emotional connection matters.

And if you’re in conservation? So does hope.

We talk a lot about restoring ecosystems. But what about restoring beauty? Can we measure that? Should we? Two coral reef studies, 10 years apart, tackled these questions from different angles. Together, they change how we think about conservation success. 🪸🧵
