2. Dr. M. Vermeij will give a general overview of the wonderful world of coral reproduction and
3. Drs. V. Chamberland will close the evening with an overview of the latest findings of studies done on Curacao that will help improving coral restoration efforts and provided some interesting new insights on how coral might be able to adapt to a changing environment.
