  • West Hawaii Civic Center, Building G 74-5044 Ane Keohokalole Highway Kailua-Kona, HI, 96740 United States (map)

After over two decades in Hawaiʻi’s ocean, join Chad to explore questions about reefs and bring some of your own to share. Through the story of two (or more) corals, learn why some reefs thrive, while others struggle to survive and more, like: Why does coral matter and to whom? What happens when corals bleach? What is coral anyway? What is coral’s relationship to sharks and birds? What is the difference between Resilience and Recovery? What is so funny about coralʻs lack of a through gut? What can we learn from the reefs of the past to understand the reefs of the future? Will there even be reefs in the future? What can we do to help and why arenʻt we doing it already?
