Capturing Life's Genesis: Coral Spawn Collection
Professor Peter L. Harrison from Southern Cross University and his team use specialized nets to capture precious coral spawn before it drifts away on the current. This ingenious device allows the spawn, a vital mixture of eggs and sperm, to rise to the surface, where it's gently caught, preserving the genesis of entire coral reefs.
