    Coral reefs are declining because of climate change—warming temperatures and ocean acidification—but Mote scientists are learning that some corals may cope better than others. For instance, Mote led research has revealed climate change-resilient, native genetic varieties of staghorn coral (an important Florida coral species), and we're growing them in our coral restoration nurseries.

    "Every member of Mote's Legacy Society has their own connections to Mote—their own reasons for giving," she continues. "But we all have one thing in common: Our belief in Mote and our desire to support its future. And that makes us all part of the Mote Family. I try to share that mote message with my family and friends—and know other Legacy Society Members do, too. That way, our 'family reunion' at next year's Legacy Society breakfast will be even bigger."
