Conservation Efforts in Mauritius
In Mauritius, a team of researchers is working to save corals by tracking their sex life. Every October, the waters of Blue Bay take on a pinkish hue as corals release millions of eggs and sperm in a synchronized spawning event.
This natural phenomenon is crucial to the survival of corals, and scientists are now pinning their hopes on it to save corals battered by climate change. A team of researchers from Mauritius and abroad is preparing to collect millions of larvae from Blue Bay as part of a large project aimed at restoring corals through sexual propagation.
"The project really starts from scratch,"
says Gaëlle Quéré, marine scientist and project lead at Secore International, one of the partners for the Mauritius project launched in 2024.
