Coral Farming as a Business - October 14, 2006 1pm
Owning and operating a long term coral farming business

Bay Area Reefers is honored to host the one and only Steve Tyree in a presentation of his latest work on captive farming and distribution of stony corals.

Researcher, author, coral farmer, and reefkeeping pioneer of over 20 years experience, Steve Tyree has performed extensive research in the propagation of reef building stony corals in captivity, resulting in many leading edge discoveries that are applicable to all captive maintained corals. Some of these discoveries are expected to yield information crucial to coral survival in the wild as well.

Steve's current general interests include captive scleractinian stony coral research, natural filtration methods, environmental gradients within tropical reef platforms, sponge research, ascidian research, bivalve research, zonal filtration research, copepod plankton research and propagating captive grown corals, sponges and ascidians via fragmentation, budding or sexual reproduction.

After giving numerous talks, including a total of 4 presentations to various Macna Conferences over the years, Steve has decided to focus more of his attention on coral farming activities, and will be doing only a very limited number of lectures each year. We are most fortunate to have him as our guest for our October meeting!

Don't miss this opportunity to attend an educational presentation by one of reefkeeping's greats!
