Ever wonder how baby corals are made? How do corals reproduce if they can’t move? What exactly is coral spawning?

Listen to this stimulating webinar as Dr. Emma Kennedy of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences and Dr. Helen Fox of the Coral Reef Alliance take you on a deep dive into the “birds and the bees” of the coral reef ecosystem. Learn all about coral spawning, and why it plays such a major role in our efforts to save coral reefs.
