Establishment of Educational Displays for the Coral Propagation Project

Project PI: Jon Ehrenberg

Project Advisor: Lisa Parr

This project consists of the establishment of an educational display aquarium at the Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal Resources Center (PACRC) for the coral propagation project. The purpose of the coral propagation project is to grow coral fragments for future research, restoration, and education. The display piece will contain corals at different stages in their growth and serve to educate visitors to the site on the importance and purpose of the coral propagation project. Signage posted at PACRC will aid in educating visitors when project members are off-site. Additionally, a coral fragment rack and informational plaque will be placed in the 300 gallon aquarium of the UH Hilo Marine Science Building to inform and attract visitors, current students, and prospective students, to the project.
