This exciting milestone, where tens of coral colonies release thousands of gametes in a miniature fireworks display, represents a significant turning point in the battle for coral reef survival. Coral spawning is one of nature’s most spectacular reproductive events. A couple of times each year, corals release their eggs and sperm into the…
