Goal Made! But Far from DoneThank you everyone for all of your support, your donations will help myself and my team further our dreams of doing research on New Zealand's reef communities. This is just the tip of the iceberg, we still need support and donations to complete our studies when we return to the states and other projects we have planned in New Zealand. Please keep sharing and donating. The attached links are 2 other projects that my teammates are leading.

About This Project

How have warming waters influenced reef species around Poor Knights Islands, New Zealand?

The Poor Knights Islands, New Zealand reef communities have been exposed to warmer than average temperatures over the past 30 years. Dramatic changes in temperature stress coral, making them more susceptible to diseases and invasive species. The goal of this project is to identify the coral, diseases and invasive species present and the maturity stages at sites throughout the Islands. This will allow us to add knowledge about the state of the reef and compare them to other global ecosystems.
