On June 25, Halmos College Oceanographic Campus hosted the premiere of the documentary series Changing Seas episode entitled, “Corals in Crisis”. The episode discusses Florida’s fragile coral reefs and a new ailment that is severely impacting an already strained ecosystem.
Known as “Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease”, this disease is infecting over half of the reef-building corals in the Florida reef tract at an unprecedented scale, killing most of the corals that get sick. This episode interviews various experts, including Halmos College Research Scientists Brian Walker, Ph.D., and Karen Neely, Ph.D., on how researchers are looking for the cause of the disease while simultaneously developing techniques to treat outbreaks.
This Changing Seas episode will air on Wednesday, June 26 WPBT2 at 8 p.m. and Sunday June, 30 on WXEL at 9PM.
