As we look around us, the impacts of climate change are ever-present and increasing in severity, with 2023 being the hottest year on record. This broadcast takes a deep dive with CCMI’s researchers into how climate change affects our oceans and coral reefs, the impacts of last year’s increased water temperatures on Little Cayman’s reefs, how CCMI is working towards helping corals to survive these pressures, and how you can help too.

Research projects contributing to the information shared in this episode include the coral bleaching monitoring supported by CCMI's Healthy Reefs sponsors (Foster's, Supermarkets, Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, and Knighthead Annuity) and the Blue Carbon Offset and Biodiversity Programme, which is made possible by Butterfield. The in-person event at the Camana Bay Cinema is supported by Dart.

Reefs Go Live expands and enriches informal science learning in Cayman and offers new resources for teachers locally and globally. CCMI has a vision of a world with vibrant oceans and healthy coral reefs. To make this vision a reality we undertake cutting edge, impactful research and transform this research into conservation and education initiatives that bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Reefs Go Live has transformed the way CCMI teaches about ocean literacy and as a result, we are transforming how children learn and engage in ocean science.
