Hoe koraalriffen worden getroffen door vervuiling
We weten dat de koraalriffen wereldwijd afsterven, maar er is opvallend weinig bekend over hoe dit precies gebeurt. Daarom zal een multidisciplinair team van Nederlandse en Caribische onderzoekers, waaronder Boris van Breukelen van de TU Delft, dit de komende jaren onderzoeken. Het project 'SEALINK' heeft onlangs 3,5 miljoen euro subsidie gekregen in het kader van het Caribbean Research programma van NWO.
