Abstract: NOAA recognizes the deterioration of global coral reef ecosystems and is committed to intervening in US reefs where it has the authority to act and support, and to promote the restoration and intervention of reefs worldwide. NOAA recently commissioned the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) to review coral interventions. The reviews helped NOAA to develop this high-level plan of action which will guide how the agency approaches coral interventions in the next one to five years.
Bio(s): Tali has been leading the NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of Science & Technology (ST) on coral science since 2013. She earned her PhD at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 2011 and was a Knauss Fellow (also in NMFS ST) in 2012. She has been working remotely in Brooklyn, New York for the past five years and welcomes the rest of the world to remote work.
