The Coral Resilience Lab is committed to accessible science education, bridging scientific discovery with community understanding and engagement.

We are available to participate in various outreach events and community expos to provide information to the public about our scientific and outreach efforts.

If you are interested in scheduling with us or want to learn more about our Education and Outreach opportunities, please contact Madeleine Sherman at mosherm@hawaii.edu.
