[Coral-List] test tube corals in Brazil

[Kaufman, Leslie]

Dear Ignacio,

That sounds wonderful, but what coral or corals are slated for repopulation, and exactly where?  Is it Mussismilia species?  Is there a selection mill or common garden experiment to try to ensure that the lab-generated corals will fare any better than the wild parents?  Is the work coordinated with the efforts of Conservation International and other organizations already involved in coral reef stewardship and conservation in Bahia?  What is the experimental design for restoration?  Lots more questions!
