Working with Dr. Nicole Webster to identify microbial biofilms that induce coral larval settlement and how the microbial community effects post settlement survival in coral recruits to enhance coral reef restoration efforts.
This project is part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program - a partnership to help the Great Barrier Reef resist, adapt and recover. The aim of this project is to identify microorganisms involved in inducing settlement and metamorphosis of coral larvae and attempt to cultivate inductive taxa to produce a broad-spectrum larval settlement cue for use in coral aquaculture to support reef restoration.
