Reef research

Three Seas field operations specialist and Northeastern graduate Erin Sayre leads a dive on a coral reef in Bocas Del Toro, Panama, which was killed by a rising layer of warm, oxygen-deprived water in 2017. Marine biology students in the Three Seas Program are studying how coral reefs like this one are changing due to climate change and how they may be able to adapt and recover.
