Florida’s corals reefs have been experiencing devastating effects of a multi-year outbreak of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). This disease has now been observed and reported in several other Caribbean locations. In response, experts from Florida have been compiling their knowledge, resources, and lessons learned to share with others. Hear from Dana Wusinich-Mendez (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Maurizio Martinelli (Florida Sea Grant), and Dr. Andrew Bruckner (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary) as they discuss our current knowledge of SCTLD, Florida’s response to this disease outbreak, the status of SCTLD in the Caribbean, and current resources available on the disease.
