Spawn Watch is an initiative led by Medina Lab and a group of marine scientists at The Pennsylvania State University.

This project aims to compile detailed observations of coral spawning events from around the globe, creating a rich database that is accessible to scientists, researchers, and anyone with a passion for marine biology!

We invite researchers, divers, and scientists to contribute to our observation log. Your contributions will help us build a comprehensive dataset that can drive impactful research and inform conservation strategies.
