SUMMARY:Rising to the challenge of coral reef restoration
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jason Spadaro joined Mote in December 2021 as a Postdoctoral Scientist to integrate an ecosystem approach into Mote’s premier science-based Coral Reef Restoration Program. His research focuses on manipulating ecological processes to support the restoration and recovery of Florida’s Coral Reef and other coral reef ecosystems. \nIn this lecture\, on Jan. 9\, Spadaro will explain how coral reefs are in trouble\, and how Mote Marine Laboratory scientists are pioneers in coral reef restoration. Mote’s team actively propagates and restores corals to degraded reef structures\, while actively selecting the most resilient and robust corals with the goal of creating a strong and resilient community of restored corals. \nRecently\, Mote has also invested in the restoration of critical ecosystem functions\, such as grazing by herbivores such as Caribbean king crabs. Led by Spadaro\, Mote scientists are engaged in the aquaculture of this large crab species that consumes many of the algae that otherwise would compete with corals for space on the reef. Tying all of these intricate and complex components together is nothing short of challenging. However\, Spadaro\, his team\, and everyone at Mote are more than up to the challenge with cutting-edge science guiding the way. \nTickets are on sale now at  mote.org/lecture. \n

SUMMARY:Oyster Reef Ball Construction
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Tampa Bay Watch Marine Education Center\, 3000 Pinellas Bayway South in Tierra Verde to help build oyster reef balls! \nThis task involves pouring marine-friendly concrete into a fiberglass mold to create oyster reef balls\, then taking apart the molds when dry. The reef balls will be installed at a future date to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion while creating habitat similar to natural oyster communities found along shoreline areas throughout Tampa Bay.  \nClick here to visit our webpage to learn more about reef balls. \nClick here to register for this project date.

SUMMARY:Red Tide Demise: Mitigation Initiative Update
DESCRIPTION:Mote Associate Vice President for Research\, Dr. Richard Pierce\, also serving as the Program Manager for Ecotoxicology Research\, joined Mote in 1981 as a Senior Scientist\, developing a research program focusing on the source\, fate and effects of toxic chemicals in the marine environment. With more than 75 published manuscripts and lectures nationally and internationally on his research\, Pierce and Dr. Cynthia Heil\, a Senior Scientist and Director of Mote’s Red Tide Institute will lead a lecture on Jan. 23. Heil\, who has more than 25 years of experience with the science and management of marine and freshwater harmful algae bloom species\, focuses on monitoring and mitigating Florida red tide along with the ecology and management of marine and freshwater HABs\, nutrients and water quality. \nTheir lecture on Florida red tide will explain its severe negative impacts on the environment\, economies and human health along Florida’s west coast\, along with the Florida Red Tide Mitigation & Technology Development Initiative put in place to combat it. The Initiative\, a result of the severe 2017-2019 red tide\, provides funding for Mote scientists to partner with other institutions and companies to conduct extensive laboratory and field research on the efficacy of a variety of potential products and technologies to mitigate the adverse effects of red tide. \nMote Members also receive discounted admission to the event.\nTickets are on sale now at mote.org/lecture.
