Back in 2019, research scientists at Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) Halmos College of Arts and Sciences joined forces with colleagues on an ambitious project to save at-risk corals. Florida’s coral reefs are currently experiencing a multi-year disease-related mortality event, which has resulted in massive die-offs in multiple coral species. The Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) rescue project, affectionately called the “Noah’s Ark” project by some, used NSU’s on-shore coral nursery at its Oceanographic Campus to temporarily house threatened corals taken from various reefs until the threat subsided, at which time the corals could be replanted.
