Aquarium Releases Report on Climate-Resilient Corals

May 2, 2019

In December 2018 the Aquarium of the Pacific partnered with the Phoenix Island Protected Area Trust and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to host a workshop on super corals with coral experts from around the world, including representatives from Pacific Island nations.

Super corals are defined as those that have demonstrated the ability to tolerate or recover from stress and successfully reproduce after a stressor, such as ocean warming.

A report on the workshop’s proceedings and resulting plans for identifying, acquiring, and propagating super corals in partnership with public aquariums is now available. Download the full PDF here. Past Aquarium reports are available in our archive.
