Novel Ex-situ Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Treatment Protocol
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) is a fast-spreading and deadly disease threatening coral reefs across the Caribbean, causing drastic losses in coral health and biodiversity. At Wave of Change, we're committed to helping coral reefs thrive. To combat this, we’ve developed a highly effective 10-day treatment protocol that has successfully restored 94% of infected coral colonies, achieving a 0% reinfection rate. This method involves careful pre-cleaning, targeted hydrogen peroxide dips to neutralize potential pathogens, and a specialized antibiotic treatment. Designed for both coral care experts and enthusiasts, our protocol offers a clear, step-by-step approach for treating affected corals and helping preserve the future of reef ecosystems.
