Lagrangian coral larval dispersal patterns
![Four illustrations in a panel show a group of islands and lines to show predictions of coral larvae dispersal patterns.](https://d9-wret.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets/palladium/production/s3fs-public/styles/full_width/public/thumbnails/image/MauiNui_larval_dispersal.png?itok=xO7LtK0I)
Detailed Description
Numerically simulated Lagrangian coral larval dispersal patterns from the Olowalu reef on west Maui, Hawai’i, for four different coral larval spawning events. Such modeling demonstrates the potential for a given reef to seed different islands and their respective reefs over relatively short timescales.
