On August 6th, 2022, WAMAS (Washington DC Area Marine Aquarist Society) held its first in-person meeting since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The successful return to in-person meetings was lead by a presentation given by Dr. Dean Miller, livestreaming from Australia to speak with WAMAS members about the Great Barrier Reef Legacy Living Coral Biobank project. The meeting is also supported by a panel of experts consisting of Dr. Bruce Carlson, Dr. Mary Hagedorn, Keri O’Neil and Tamie Dewitt.
WAMAS has recently announced an extremely generous $20,000 donation to the Living Coral Biobank project. In another example of the generosity of the WAMAS club and its members, WAMAS has made the recording of this event freely available to the public!
