RESEARCH

Research at The Reef Institute is currently focusing on three main initiatives. First, participation in the Florida Coral Rescue Project. Second, working with Department of Resource Management, TRI has been monitoring coral health and more recently biodiversity at Peanut Island in the Lake Worth Lagoon to assist with disease research along the Florida Reef Tract. Additionally, we are working with Michael Singer Studios researching materials that can be best used on artificial reefs for best invertebrate attraction. This project titled, the “Marine Living Structures Initiative,” seeks to create intentionally designed and material driven structures that can grow living coral and attract animals living in a coral reef.
