Professor Joana Figueiredo, Nova Southeastern University’s director of the National Coral Reef Institute, was recently featured in a Miami Herald story on coral restoration efforts. The story examined NSU’s work to replenish the Florida Coral Reef with resilient corals. Figueiredo, a marine larval ecology and recruitment laboratory researcher with the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences, gave the reporter an inside look at our coral-spawning operation.
