And.....The Numbers Are In!!

Counting coral recruits!

The coral recruits have been counted with the help of several hard-working volunteers! After hours peering through microscopes the count is in, and we came to a total of 54594 recruits!!! That's a lot of coral babies!

A HUGE thank you to those that volunteered their time to help count the recruits, it couldn't have been done without you! THANK YOU:
