Did you know that corals can have babies? They do it in a spectacular underwater event known as ‘spawning’. In an exciting new initiative, Nature Seychelles is gearing up to harness this natural occurrence by launching a ground-breaking coral breeding lab on Praslin Island, Seychelles, thanks to a partnership with CANON and the UK-based Coral Spawning Lab.
