These reefs contain an astonishing diversity of species, perhaps half of all species in the sea, including 700 species of coral and perhaps 3,000 species of fish, among many others. Scientists are still discovering new species here every year. But these reefs are threatened by human activities, from overfishing to pollution to climate change. The aquarium features branching and plating stony corals of the Acropora and Montipora genera. Together with other stony corals, soft corals, giant clams, other invertebrates and fish, the Indo-Pacific coral reef represents one of the most biologically diverse environments on earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1579206164562-YEQI2R1ZN2L4KC4548D6/CaribbeanCoral.png Exhibits - Coral Reef Aquaria - The Caribbean The western Atlantic and Caribbean region is much smaller than the Indo-Pacific, and both the region and individual reefs harbor fewer species. But these reefs — which include the only coral reefs in North America (in the Florida Keys) — are home to more than 65 species of corals and perhaps 700 species of fish, among many others. These reefs, however, are in extremely poor health, due to a combination of climate change, overfishing, and pollution. The Caribbean aquarium features soft corals, gorgonians, anemones, and sponges, and a small selection of stony corals typical of Florida Caribbean reefs. Notable by their absence are the reef-building staghorn and elkhorn branching stony corals, which have disappeared from Caribbean waters in the last 30 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1578935134577-FCZ7Q2NWJHGHJ0TVR7A2/MotherAndDaughterAtFishTank.jpg Exhibits - Coral Reef Aquaria https://www.museumoftheearth.org/exhibit/glacier-exhibit monthly 0.5 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/2a78d638-1fc3-4be7-8208-3aa1a380d322/Glacier-Exhibit.jpg Exhibits - Glacier Exhibit https://www.museumoftheearth.org/exhibit/our-lungfish monthly 0.5 2026-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/ee63e09b-98a4-4ca0-89d0-8ae44718b42f/lungfish.jpg Exhibits - Dig Deeper: Leuckart's zoological wall charts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.museumoftheearth.org/exhibit/dig-deeper-isua-rocks monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/2ad1be6e-b0f9-443b-8768-50489e1b1219/dscn0593-copy.jpg__1240x510_q85_subject_location-526%2C396_subsampling-2.jpg Exhibits - Dig Deeper: Isua Rocks - Make it stand out Rocks exposed on the edge of the Greenland ice sheet at Isua.

Stegosaurus was about the size of a small bus, and could have protected itself from predators like Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus by swinging its tail spikes to intimidate, confuse, and injure them.

Dr. Seeley researches the evolution of periwinkle snails (Littorina) along the rocky coast of New England. Shells in this jar were collected in the late 19th century at the Isles of Shoals. The jar was found in a house attic in eastern Maine and returned to Star Island, and to the museum, in the late 20th century. Shells in the jar match the shells excavated from Smuttynose Island by the Isles of Shoals Archaeology Project, but are in much better condition (vibrant shell color, perfect structure) than shells belonging to the same species excavated from soil in the front yard of the Haley House. Examination of the jarred shells allows 1) a finer analysis of shell shape, structure and color than is possible using shells which have been buried for 125+ years; and 2) for a test of the hypothesis that all shells from the Isles of Shoals look a certain way, whether they were buried in the soil, or preserved in a jar. This famous jar, and its beautiful yellow shells, is part of the new exhibit “Under the Isles of Shoals” at the Museum of the Earth through November 17. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1578885778108-AE214C9R481WDGH6FERW/shoals_seeley_IMG_2244.jpg Exhibits - Under the Isles of Shoals: Archaeology on Smuttynose Island A live periwinkle shell on Appledore Island, showing a scar that it received from a predatory crab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1578885572481-BWJURRDMMQJ26I1DW03H/Discover_Portsmouth_SHOALS_PR0112.jpg Exhibits - Under the Isles of Shoals: Archaeology on Smuttynose Island Student archaeologists from the Shoals Marine Laboratory under Prof. Nathan Hamilton gather around an important dig on Smuttynose Island.

Incoming energy from the Sun is balanced by outgoing energy emitted by the Earth. Sunlight consists of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light. The Sun radiates visible light most strongly, and the sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface is mostly visible light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1600978080594-RPI9AR24MUFY3033YD0O/image-asset.jpeg Climate Exhibit Gallery The Earth’s surface absorbs the visible sunlight and warms. Then it re-radiates the absorbed energy at long infrared wavelengths. Even though the Earth is radiating energy, we don’t see it glow because long-wavelength infrared energy is invisible to people. Most gases in the atmosphere are transparent to infrared energy, but some gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, absorb infrared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1600996765222-KAOQ842ZEHL5RULCXIDK/image-asset.gif Climate Exhibit Gallery The Earth’s surface absorbs the visible sunlight and warms.

This raises the temperature of the atmosphere. The absorbed energy is re-radiated in all directions: some back to Earth, some out to space, some re-absorbed by other molecules. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1600993540342-RWPW1WKELGVL8ABZ84AL/image-asset.gif Climate Exhibit Gallery When carbon dioxide absorbs infrared energy, the molecules vibrate and collide with other gas molecules.

The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the warmer the atmosphere gets before the outgoing infrared energy finally leaves the Earth system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1595364970325-0F4KMS96PQ0UB8I2PO5V/image-asset.jpeg Climate Exhibit Gallery - Drill rig on the West Antarctic ice sheet.

There, she played a key role in the development of the oil industry. She is also known for her work on fossil mollusks. “In these days when all Europe seems about to crash, even the memory of the color and the carved expanse of the Grand Cañon of the Colorado makes the terror of the present weeks seem more fugitive.” - Julia Gardner (1940) “Notes on travel and life” (as quoted in Gries 2018) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616352770227-SSZG8I0G7VY0BQ8XKO7Y/Julia-Gardner-ca1912-Web-2000px.jpg Paleontologists - Julia Gardner - Julia, ca. 1912 Julia Gardner, ca. 30 years old (ca. 1912).

It was able to use its fins to pull itself through shallow water, as well as propping itself up by doing “push-ups.” https://www.museumoftheearth.org/ny-rocks/devonian-sea-life/taxon/encrusters monthly 0.5 2023-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1678397958435-UBRS2KTYHEP4I9MBC2A2/Encrusters-Crinoid-2000px.jpg Devonian Sea Life - Encrusters - Crinoid, coral, and brachiopod Composite crinoid specimen derived from three different fossils that demonstrate varied associations with other animals.

Many bees nest in pithy stems, such as raspberry and blackberry stems. Female Ceratina (the small carpenter bees) were found nesting in these Rubus stems in Ithaca, NY. Look for the hole at the end of the stem! Right (#3): Japanese knotweed stems (Reynoutria japonica). This invasive plant can be used to make trap nests for stem-nesting bees. Japanese knotweed stems are hollow and variability in the stem diameter provides lots of possibilities for stem-nesting bees of varying sizes. Try making a “bee hotel” with knotweed stems in your neighborhood. You will be helping to control an invasive, non-native plant while helping bees find a nest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1585166337885-0D4W0SSEKVF52EGLGX1X/CarpenterBee-Nest-2000px.jpg Bee Nesting This split carpenter bee nest was collected in Arizona. Female Xylocopa californica arizonensis excavated tunnels in sotol (Dasylirion wheeleri) stalks. To partition the tunnels into discrete brood cells, they use wood fragments combined with salivary secretions. Note the discrete “fiberboard” brood cell partitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1585166512596-DJJAIETJMKKBJQG9WUBB/HorseManure-Nest.jpg Bee Nesting A bee nest in a clump of dried horse manure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1585167886133-QZ2IWACKP9HDHGY45K7T/Architect-BeeNest.jpg Bee Nesting Anthidiellum strigatum nest with the bee inside.

Your house or apartment is a great place to start. In each room we can make choices that reduce emissions. Some choices have a big impact, some small. Some cost money, but others are absolutely free, and some save money! Every action that we take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions makes the problem a little bit smaller and a little easier to solve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1686585257324-Y1CVTSN5TLG27BP7L2D5/bike+and+bus.png Solutions: We Can Do Something About It | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1686585257330-0W8UJ4NAOAE739OWM91P/carbon+offset.png Solutions: We Can Do Something About It | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1686585258138-PAGIZ9XIUQ2HYGXC4VXN/home+energy.png Solutions: We Can Do Something About It | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1686585258237-CEISXOD1251IVZ3BTEG5/reuse.png Solutions: We Can Do Something About It | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1686585258845-QCXLNYT59FXIXEGZ21SQ/weather+warning.png Solutions: We Can Do Something About It | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://www.museumoftheearth.org/changing-climate/greenhouse-effect daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1599676104956-II0J7HAKDB0M33Q0X1RI/GHG-40.jpg Understanding the Greenhouse Effect | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1601304834362-K27TOCGFU49UUHNMSJ2K/infographic.png Understanding the Greenhouse Effect | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://www.museumoftheearth.org/changing-climate/proxies daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1599675062364-KC04N9BJUFG6X18QPEQA/CORECLOSEUP-40.jpg Climate Proxies | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1593114275996-7NAQ4A7BDBVFHP2Y8PRI/inside+4+degrees+C+core+repository-smaller.jpg Climate Proxies | Changing Climate: Our Future, Our Choice Students visiting the Gulf Coast Repository of the International Ocean Discovery Program at Texas A&M University.

This puts over 600 million coastal residents at risk. Rising seas are causing more frequent flooding, and coastal storms do more damage with a higher sea level. People in some communities will need to relocate, one example of how climate change can drive human migration.

Data show that since the 1990s, the ocean has rapidly been becoming more acidic, which has made it harder for animals like clams, snails, and corals to grow their shells and skeletons. Coral reefs are the foundation of many marine ecosystems, and act as an early warning system for changes in the rest of the ocean.

Pioneering women paved the way by navigating social expectations and restrictions. Their progress was scaffolded by mentorship and community building among women scientists. Conditions for women and other diverse groups in science today are better in many ways than they once were. We can look to the women in this exhibit to understand how paleontology has changed and to consider how to develop new paths for progress today and tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616619318689-B941CA2DYKTO46T60W9I/MaryAnning-Plesiosaur-1000px-SQ.png Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Discovery The universal rush of discovery still draws us to study ancient life. Imagine, like Mary Anning, walking below the imposing cliffs of the Jurassic Coast, carefully picking your way over stones filled with the spiraling shells of ammonites. Imagine stumbling upon the remains of a plesiosaur: an ungainly, long-necked, paddle-legged creature that died millions of years ago. Imagine realizing you had discovered the first complete skeleton of an animal no one had ever seen. How thrilling would that have been? How incredible is it to know there are still so many discoveries to be found? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616615910250-94WOTOBRF2MEJU5JAMBM/Black-photo_web.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Riley Black “There’s no one path to becoming a paleontologist. There are so many different organisms to study, time periods to explore, and forms of expertise to develop. Curators or professors may be the most visible, but their work wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of volunteers, collections managers, preparation experts, and others. There are paleontologists who do all their work in a lab and others who work for construction companies, checking construction sites to rescue fossils that might be destroyed. Paleontology is not a set list of jobs, but a constantly changing set of ideas and practices that need your imagination as much as your resolve. If someone tells you there’s no place for you in the field, don’t believe them. You can make your own place.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616613257491-7LA1671QWVMPPZYWELHU/KarenChin-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Karen Chin Take lots of science courses! Biology and geology are particularly relevant to the study of paleontology, but it is also important to have a firm foundation in math, chemistry, and physics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616613339388-TNWKKHH09KK32BPF0NHW/PhoebeCohen-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Phoebe Cohen “Aside from the obvious things like ‘work hard! Take lots of science classes!’ I would say – find mentors. Those can be science teachers, museum volunteers, or avocational paleontologists – find people who share your interests and can help you explore them. Once you’ve reached college, getting research experience is really critical – so finding a school that provides undergraduate research opportunities in the Earth sciences or evolutionary biology. And finally, there might be people who don’t believe in you – remember that it’s not up to them to define you and your success, only you can do that!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616625073098-1LQI8CXDB0JYJDUHPQ0J/BushraHussaini-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Bushra Muzaffar Hussaini “I encourage young women to pursue their dreams of becoming a paleontologist. There are lots of opportunities these days for them to pursue their interest as Paleo interns in the National Park Service for instance, or at the United States Geological Survey. Internships are also offered in Paleontology departments in museums and in NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduate programs, plus stipends and scholarships are offered by GSA and the Cushman Foundation for microfossil research. Finally, the Paleontological Society is a great resource for young paleontologists to network, meet mentors and learn about options/opportunities available to them in the field of paleontology.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616616078758-VQ81K1Y5A109XGLRMM1N/RowanLockwood-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Rowan Lockwood I think the biggest piece of advice would be to get out there and get involved! Visit museums, track down local fossil sites, check out internships, and learn more. Don’t be afraid to reach out to professional paleontologists to ask for advice or learn about opportunities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616614063047-1NU2ZEULZW503NU9MY3N/MimiKatz-2017-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Mimi Katz “Work hard, build networks with your mentors, peers, and mentees, and above all – have fun!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616614143831-172I1PD08OUXE7XJJOD6/PatriciaKelley-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Patricia Kelley “Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something just because you are a girl (or whatever other reason they give you). Read all you can about fossils. Get your family to take you to museums or places where you can collect fossils. Ask questions. And get in touch with paleontologists like me as you grow up, so we can answer your questions or point you in the direction where you can find the answers yourself.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616616213571-K5E949MSGJ2OO1OGZVEC/MarinaSuarez-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Marina Suarez “One piece of advice I would give would be to keep an open mind. I never thought I’d be a geochemist, but being a geochemist has given me the opportunity to be fairly versatile in the kinds of jobs I can get. So, I’d suggest to future paleontologists to diversify their toolbox of abilities.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616616334502-HBZ369VY4674X0OH5V4E/LisaWhite-Web-1000px.jpg Looking to the Future | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology - Lisa White “Take a variety of science classes in school. Paleontology crosses many disciplines of science: biology, geology, ecology, chemistry and more. Research the sub-disciplines of paleontology to determine a focus when making college choices and reach out to individual scientists, museums, and institutions to find out more about the subjects that interest you.” https://www.museumoftheearth.org/daring-to-dig/additional-resources/teachers daily 0.75 2021-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1616680677516-YLU0BI3QMJEMQF2MY9LI/McGillis-Teachers-Web-2000px.png Resources for Teachers | Daring to Dig: Women in American Paleontology https://www.museumoftheearth.org/rack-card-plan-your-visit daily 0.75 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1623178348880-KN5HZXPZE920FZDPHZUY/DSC_0682+copy.jpg Rack Card Landing Page - Where the Earth comes to life! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1623179694238-6TGYFMMD5NLXV91QE9RH/Untitled-2-01.png Rack Card Landing Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.museumoftheearth.org/conservation-paleobiology/ecosystem daily 0.75 2022-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1627672078391-3ZXB8CSTWDTA2RLVIWB4/oyster_clump.jpg Oyster Reef Ecosystem | Conservation Paleobiology: Putting the Dead to Work - Oysters & Their Reef Ecosystem Oyster reefs not only support the ecosystem but also people.

Disease, pollution, burial by sediments, predation, and overfishing are primary causes of recruitment failure. Without newly settled oysters to the reef, the three-dimensional reef structure will not grow. With few living oysters, the reef may also break down over time and be less effective in providing ecosystem services like shoreline protection. Water clarity may also decrease, causing other species critical for coastal economies and local tourism to be affected and even disappear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/f57079f6-2bab-44f9-a027-55f6f3802b07/SampleA_scaled+%281%29.png Oyster Reef Ecosystem | Conservation Paleobiology: Putting the Dead to Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/eba454ae-e54e-4ea2-a805-cbaa4fcd1cb1/SampleB_scaled+%281%29.png Oyster Reef Ecosystem | Conservation Paleobiology: Putting the Dead to Work - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1627656294212-PXNHIBSPDK4AWPY0J872/1_Sample+A_Eastern+Oyster_Crassostrea+virginica.jpg Oyster Reef Ecosystem | Conservation Paleobiology: Putting the Dead to Work - 1.

They then mapped which island the sample was collected from on the right side of the phylogeny. You can see that some species are found on only one island and some are found on multiple islands. They used statistical analyses to reconstruct the predicted origin and movement among these islands based on the age of the islands. The results show that frequent migration between islands through evolutionary time was common for many species in this genus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/249a4a58-313b-4f25-a58e-0334626571e1/florida-turtle-ant.jpeg Research | Six-Legged Science: Unlocking the Secrets of the Insect World -

This seismometer measures only horizontal motion in one direction. As a moonquake causes the mass (the brown block in the instrument) to move side-to-side, a voltage that's proportional to the distance the mass moves is generated by circuitry involving a differential capacitor. This voltage is then amplified and recorded as a signal of seismic activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/ca158be2-d2db-424a-9425-4bc97843e8da/Apollo+12+lunar+seismograph.jpg Lunar seismometer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/2304b5ec-0cc0-4466-a9c5-c4616dec9f44/Barazangi.jpg Lunar seismometer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/bbd426ee-a254-4b00-a2cb-eaaf52ed2abc/Seismic+Wave+-line+off.png Lunar seismometer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.museumoftheearth.org/front-desk-membership-form daily 0.75 2025-04-15 https://www.museumoftheearth.org/marvelous-mollusks daily 0.75 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/1647613501905-1FG7SN8ZTJUZLUUO165Q/spacer.gif Introduction | Marvelous Mollusks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/7063a553-515d-465f-bc58-8f5a1582f1d0/phylogeny01.jpg Introduction | Marvelous Mollusks - Make it stand out This diagram shows the evolutionary relationships between the major groups of mollusks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3cbf70d8a40e00011d021a/549f9b3d-fae2-440e-aad2-92e123c66a30/1b.+Kimberella_quadrata.jpg Introduction | Marvelous Mollusks - Make it stand out An image of Kimberella quadrata.

Sphenodone insolita is unique among partulids because it lives and eats underneath rocks. It is very shy and does not poke its head out very far from its shell. Its shell is protective and appropriately shaped for fitting in the tight spaces between limestone rocks. V. pagodula has a shell shaped like a pagoda. The markings on it are actually the animal’s body showing through its translucent shell.

Different clam individuals can have different colors, even within the same species. The colorful fleshy parts are the mantle tissue of the clam, a thin skirt of skin that protects the internal organs of the animal. Embedded, symbiotic, single-celled algae called zooxanthellae (zoe-zanth-ELL-ee) help give the mantle tissue its vibrant colors. They also help make food for the clam. This is a faisua giant clam on a coral reef off the coast of the island of Ofu in American Samoa.

Associated with this is the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center (PMDC), which has been very successful. These tanks hold hundreds of captive-grown giant clams that can be “outplanted” to local reefs in Palau, which helps for the long-term survival of Tridacna species in the country. Mature clams will release egg and sperm, some of which will lead to larvae that can seed local populations.

These clams start their lives as tiny floating larvae, and in 2003 when this photo was taken, the clams were 1-2 years old. Some of these clams were brought out to the reef to live in the wild. If they successfully established, a few of them might still be alive and growing today, since giant clams can live a very long time!

Giant clams are an important part of many Pacific Island cultures, and their decline and illegal poaching on islands affects local people. Conservation and aquaculture of giant clams is important for the continuity of Pacific Island cultures.
