World Ocean Day Reefs Go Live 2024: Corals in a Changing Climate

REEFS GO LIVE 2024 EPISODE 4: Corals in a Changing Climate: A Dive into the Future of Coral Reefs
Date: Friday, 7 June
Time: 10am (UTC -5h)
As we look around us, the impacts of climate change are ever-present and increasing in severity, with 2023 being the hottest year on record. This broadcast takes a deep dive with CCMI’s researchers into how climate change affects our oceans and coral reefs, the impacts of last year’s increased water temperatures on Little Cayman’s reefs, how CCMI is working towards helping corals to survive these pressures, and how you can help too.
Research projects contributing to the information shared in this episode include the coral bleaching monitoring funded by CCMI's Healthy Reefs sponsors (Foster's, Supermarkets, Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, and Knighthead Annuity) and the Blue Carbon Offset and Biodiversity Programme, which is made possible by Butterfield. The in-person event at the Camana Bay Cinema is supported by Dart.

You can still watch along on CCMI’s Facebook page and UA-cam channel, but our team may not have the opportunity to see your questions or respond during our broadcast.
We broadcast LIVE from underwater along the coast of Little Cayman, a Mission Blue Hope Spot in the Cayman Islands. All times are in UTC -5h; each broadcast lasts approx. 40 min. The best way to take part in these broadcasts is via our new event platform where everyone joining us can communicate with our team through an interactive chat and engaging polls.
We also provide education materials that pair with the broadcast. Be sure to invite your friends, family, and any potentially interested students to join us. Register at donate.reefres...
