Mike also work several years in the Invertebrate House at the National Zoo in DC, where he was part of team of scientists and researchers working in the SECORE program.
SECORE stands for SExual COral REproduction, which refers to SECORE's Coral Seeding approach for reef restoration: taking advantage of the corals’ own reproduction potential to develop scalable methods and technologies. Breeding corals from collected coral spawn allows SECORE to produce huge numbers of baby corals out of one spawning event while at the same time supporting genetic diversity and consequently promoting reef resilience.
