@naturesey on every front! Doing population controls of #coralpredators to assist recovery on reefs impacted by the 2016 mass #coralbleaching event. A total of 790 corallivore snails (Drupella spp.) were removed from the #reefrescuers transplanted site in #CousinIsland Special reserve. Another 28 corallivore starfishes (Crown-of-Thorns) were injected with lethal doses of vinegar on the resilient reef of Trompeuse. Photo credit Louise Malaise (at Cousin Island, Seychelles)
