Maldives pioneers portable coral hatchery in major reef restoration breakthrough.

Scientists in Australia and the Maldives have successfully reared more than 3 million larvae and deployed more than 10,000 juvenile corals on 720 seeding devices at 9 different reef locations - marking a major leap forward for coral restoration.

They're now working on a plan to share the system with Pacific nations. #Nature #wildlife #coral #environment #ocean #Maldives #australia #climate #news

I'm seeing posts encouraging those new to Mastodon to post an introduction with biographical information. I did not do that when I joined in early December and apologize for the oversight. Here's some biographical information:

I'm a retired academic (Ph.D. in theology) with a husband who is also a retired Ph.D. in theology. As a gay couple now in our 51st year together, we found ourselves very much unwelcome and unwanted in the Catholic institutions in which we taught.

What would you do if I cuddled with you?
Would you curl up and purr next to me?
Squishing your toes while I rub on your cheeks,
Giving slow blinks of love just for me.
Oh, don't you cry now, my sweet furry friend.
Yes, you are safe now, my sweet fuzzy friend.
