SECORE is a global network of scientists, public aquarium professionals, and local stakeholders using a multidisciplinary strategy combining research, education and outreach, and active reef restoration for the conservation of coral reefs. It is a non-profit organization whose work is actively supported by several other Association of Zoos and Aquarium (AZA) facilities including the Columbus Zoo, Florida Aquarium, Omaha Zoo, California Academy of Sciences/Steinhart Aquarium, and others.

In 2013 and 2014 Aquarium of the Pacific staff members participated in SECORE coral reproduction research and restoration efforts in Guam. The experience the Aquarium staff had in 2014 working on the Guam project is described in this lecture. Project SECORE and Guam’s Threatened Coral Reefs
