| Details | Join MarineGEO's Leah Harper to learn about her important work studying the health of coral reef ecosystems throughout the Caribbean Sea. Leah will share how MarineGEO monitors corals and the important reef ecosystems they support, assesses fish and invertebrate biodiversity, and tracks a contagious coral disease, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, that has been moving throughout the Caribbean. She will explain how her work is part of MarineGEO's larger effort to understand how corals, fish, and invertebrates interact to maintain diverse and thriving tropical marine ecosystems. - This webinar is designed for students in grades 3-5, but will be of interest to older students, too. It will be approximately 45 minutes with interactive polls and Q&A, followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
- This webinar complements the Reefs Unleashed school program and can be used as an extension resource.
- The primary goals of this webinar are to help students find value in studying the natural world, build their interest and personal connections to science, and learn about science careers.
This program will be presented via Zoom video webinar. The link to join the webinar is: zoom.us…
