REEF CHEMISTRY: THE INVISIBLE FORCES THAT SHAPE CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS
Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a hidden world of intricate connections, where plants, animals, and chemistry are deeply intertwined. In this talk, explore the powerful compounds produced by cyanobacteria, the silent chemical battles waged between corals and algae, and the subtle signals that guide baby corals back home to their reefs. Discover how these unseen interactions shape the health and survival of marine ecosystems—and why they matter more than ever.
