Check out Kurt Krispyn interviewing WAMSI Research Director Dr Jenny Shaw and CSIRO's Dr Damian Thomson about the science behind the WA Reef Regan Program

How can reef regeneration help WA's coral reefs?

Scientists from WAMSI and CSIRO recently joined host, Kurt Krispyn, on the Paramount Importance podcast to discuss the future of coral reef regeneration in Western Australia.

Dr Jenny Shaw, Research Director at WAMSI, and Dr Damian Thomson from CSIRO explore what coral bleaching really looks like, how baby corals can swim and reef regeneration approaches being trialled to support coral recovery and resilience.

The conversation highlights the science underpinning the WA Reef Regen Program and the collaborative efforts underway to help give WA's reefs a fighting chance in a changing climate.
