The St. Lucie Reef project was recently profiled in TC Palm newspapers by reporter Eve Samples. In an interview with Ms. Samples, Dr. Voss noted the importance of the project and highlighted some preliminary results indicating coral stress. The project will soon be expanded through a Florida Sea Grant awarded to Dr. Voss and partner Jeff Beal from FWC. Detailed monitoring and ex situ experiments will assess the potential impacts of Lake Okeechobee on the St. Lucie corals.
