We fight for baby corals because they have very short arms. The Marhaver Lab is a marine biology research lab and a science communication skunkworks all working to help corals build the badass reefs of the future.
We solve the trickiest puzzles in coral breeding and we share the solutions with science and restoration teams around the globe, so that everyone can grow more corals, faster. We also host students and collaborators from around the world to study coral reef ecology, reproduction, and restoration on Curacao's healthy, beautiful, accessible coral reefs.
At the helm, Dr. Kristen Marhaver is a coral reef scientist, a coral reproduction expert, and a voice for smarter ocean conservation. She's also a TED Senior Fellow, a WINGS Fellow , a National Geographic Explorer, a Georgia Tech Alumni 40 Under 40 honoree, and a World Economic Forum Young Scientist, if we're keeping track of that sort of thing.
