Reefs Go Live: Why is Everything So Colourful?

Postponed due to poor weather. The new date is 27th March at 10am

This free virtual event explores why the ocean is so colourful and how colour helps marine life communicate, camouflage, and identify one another. Hosted by CCMI, the session dives under the waters of Little Cayman, a global biodiversity hotspot, to show how rich biodiversity supports healthier, climate resilient reefs. From shallow reefs to the deep sea, attendees will learn how animals adapt their colours to different ecological niches and light environments, and how 2025 monitoring revealed reef recovery and resilience differences.
