Our presenters have been working diligently to provide a thorough and useful overview of coral spawning research and larval propagation techniques.  This webinar will focus specifically on Caribbean coral species, but those of you working in other areas are welcome to join as well.  Based on your feedback, the webinar will be held Wednesday, February 8th from 10am-1pm.  If you haven't responded to the  survey, please FILL OUT FORM<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSepLuFUma7uVOxsLJZgMw1CZP74JTywOosZRYIO7uJw-xLCjw/viewform?c=0&w=1&usp=mail_form_link>, it isn't too late!  In fact, our presenters are still requesting more participation in the survey to help them make relevant information available following the webinar.
