CFK’s VIP Series goes virtual with “Crabs and Coral Reef Restoration” on Facebook Live on April 21

KEY WEST, FL, April 15, 2020—The College of the Florida Keys continues its 2020 VIP Series through COVID-19 stay at home orders by going virtual.  Dr. Jason Spadaro, CFK marine science and technology professor, will broadcast his presentation, “How crabs may offer new hope for the restoration of Florida’s iconic coral reefs,” live from his home through the College’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheCollegeoftheFloridaKeys on Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m.

Dr. Spadaro will discuss the role herbivorous crabs can play in facilitating coral reef restoration efforts in the Caribbean and Florida Keys. These large crustacean grazers may be the key to turning the tide of the battle between corals and algae and to improving conditions for coral reef community recovery.

The presentation closes the seventh season of CFK’s VIP Series, which was sponsored by Centennial Bank and provides the community with opportunities to learn from the visions, ideas, and perspectives of speakers of local, regional, and national prominence.  For more information, call CFK at 305-296-9081 or visit www.fkcc.edu.
