By analyzing coral genetics, microbial communities and environmental conditions, the research aims to identify the most resilient corals and the reef environments best suited to them. The findings could transform restoration strategies, improving coral survival, reducing costs, and strengthening the long-term resilience of Florida's Coral Reef.
