Zoo Highlights Coral Reproduction and Cryopreservation Research
Original: Coral Reproduction and Cryopreservation
The Smithsonian's National Zoo is drawing attention to its work on coral reproduction and cryopreservation, the freezing and storage of coral cells and sperm to safeguard threatened reef species. With coral reefs under pressure from warming oceans and bleaching, freezing reproductive material offers a way to preserve genetic diversity and support future restoration efforts.
Why now: Concern over coral reef decline and climate change is keeping attention on conservation techniques like cryopreservation.
