In 2023 we ran a Spawning School at JCU through the Cairns-Port Douglas Reef Hub, working with our friends at Reef Recruits. We trained First Nations rangers in rearing coral larvae after the annual spawning event and how this can be used to help with reef stewardship, as part of this project we also had a community day to share what we had been up to with the community. It was also great to have the team from Reef Cast with us to help document this project.
