Coral Reefs
From Wild Reef to Gene Bank: Bridging Aquaculture & Coral Conservation
Join Coral Aquarist Manager Gimel Morley for a behind-the-scenes look at the Bahamas Coral Gene Bank — how wild corals are collected, quarantined, and maintained in land-based systems to safeguard genetic diversity for endangered species.
Coral Reef Restoration in Madagascar: ARMS Restore
Learn how PIMS scientists and coastal communities in Madagascar are working together to restore coral reefs through ARMS Restore.
Coral Reef Monitoring with Photogrammetry
Discover how ReefShape is revolutionizing coral reef health monitoring at scale across the Caribbean.
Inside The Bahamas Coral Innovation Hub
The science behind sustainable fishing practices and how local communities play a vital role in marine resource management.
Subsistence Fishing in The Bahamas During COVID-19
How Bahamian communities turned to traditional subsistence fishing when global supply chains collapsed during the pandemic — exploring cultural history, food security, and the resilience that kept coastal families fed.
Reef Rescue Network: Coral Is Calling
RRN Director Hayley-Jo Carr reveals how PIMS' alliance of 50+ dive shops and conservation partners is scaling coral nurseries across the Caribbean — from innovative nursery designs to diver training and reef resilience insights.
Corals in Crisis: Mass Bleaching in The Bahamas
PIMS scientists break down the ocean heatwave devastating Bahamian reefs; what's driving it, the cascading impacts on marine life and coastal communities, where beacons of hope remain, and what we can do to safeguard reefs after the heat subsides.
Stone Crab Fishing: Don't Clip the Biter, Stick It!
PIMS and Cape Eleuthera Institute share the latest research on Bahamian stone crab fishing — collaborating directly with fishers to answer their questions and improve crab survival rates after claw harvest.
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease: Identification, Assessment & Treatment
Four PIMS Coral Response Team scientists walk through SCTLD from the ground up — how to identify it in the field, assess its spread across reefs, and the hands-on treatment and intervention methods being deployed across The Bahamas.
How to Reduce the Spread of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease
The PIMS Reef Response Team returns with practical strategies for halting SCTLD — covering best practices, preventative measures, community involvement, and how technology is being used to slow this devastating coral disease.
Understanding Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease with Dr. Valeria Pizarro
Leading marine scientist Dr. Valeria Pizarro unpacks the complexities of SCTLD — its devastating impact on Bahamian reefs, implications for broader Caribbean ecosystems, and what it means for coastal communities that depend on healthy coral.
Why Mangroves Matter: Restoring the Lungs of the Sea
Executive Director Dr. Craig Dahlgren introduces The Bahamas' first-ever Mangrove Report Card, revealing the current state of the country's mangroves, conservation actions underway, and how everyone can help restore these vital coastal ecosystems.
Nassau Grouper: The Heart of Bahamian Fisheries
Why are critically endangered Nassau grouper so vulnerable during spawning season? PIMS researchers explore this iconic species' life history, cultural significance, and the science behind building a sustainable fishery for future generations.
How to Treat SCTLD with Antibiotic Paste: Live Field Training
Drs. Karen Neely and Brian Walker of Nova Southeastern University demonstrate how amoxicillin paste halts SCTLD spread on coral colonies — covering field assessment, treatment best practices, and prioritization criteria in this government task force training hosted by PIMS.
Bahamas Coral Reef Report Card 2020: Assessing Reef Health
Dr. Craig Dahlgren presents the current state of Bahamian reefs, emerging threats like SCTLD, and why there's still reason for hope as the institute plots a path forward for reef recovery.
Mapping Reef Health: Photogrammetry & 3D Models for Coral Monitoring
PIMS Researcher Will Greene introduces the institute's cutting-edge photogrammetry work — how detailed 3D models and photomosaics of coral reefs are revolutionizing the way scientists monitor reef health and guide restoration across The Bahamas.
Improving Coral Spawning Observations in The Bahamas
Learn how corals reproduce sexually and how PIMS uses spawning for restoration. This webinar covers monitoring dive techniques, data collection methods, and how citizen scientists can contribute spawning observations from islands across The Bahamas.
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Hits The Bahamas
Dr. Craig Dahlgren delivers PIMS' first webcast on SCTLD, covering what the disease is, why it's such a serious threat, which coral species are vulnerable, how it spreads, and what Bahamians who depend on healthy reefs can do to help track and combat it.
