Coral reefs are vital to healthy marine ecosystems but are in serious decline due to pollution, global warming, and other threats. This decline also has serious ecological consequences to communities that rely on tourism to coral reefs as a central source of income. In this presentation Dr. Stephanie Lockwood discusses the multinational, study abroad undergraduate research program designed to promote safe and sustainable means to preserve and rehabilitate the coral reefs of Honduras, allowing real world research opportunities for students.
