This project was a great collaboration between @DrSeaBove @FOH_Belize and I. We were supported by a team of awesome Belizean friends and colleagues without whom we would never have completed the work! Thanks to ya'll who aren't on twitter and those who are (@MoniqueVernonBz )
We performed a reciprocal transplant experiment with S. siderea and P. strigosa from offshore and nearshore reef locations. Utilizing @FOH_Belize expertise and existing restoration infrastructure (underwater tables), we were able to section, transport, and transplant corals!
We were SO lucky to have the indomitable @mlparkermedia join us for some of this work. She documented the process so well <3 
We collected and sectioned 6 colonies of each species from our 2 environments (nearshore and offshore). These were each sectioned into 13 frags. 6 stayed at home, 6 were moved to the other environment, and 1 came back to UNC with us as a Time 0 control.
Isotope master @IzzyGutierrez99 is on twitter! She did greet work here. Go see what she’s up to next :)
