Our lab has cultured corals since 2019 using aquaculture methods we learned from the fishermen of Onna Village in Okinawa, Japan. To establish our farm, we collected and propagated naturally growing corals from abalone aquaculture ponds in surrounding areas. As of 2024, our farm is home to over 4,000 individual fragments of more than 17 coral species. Using cultured corals for research, rather than sampling colonies from wild populations, facilitates environmentally friendly, safe, and systematic biological studies of corals. 

自2019年起，我們在附近的貢寮鮑養殖池內，收集自然生長的珊瑚進行養殖。截至2024年，農場內培育超過17種珊瑚，珊瑚片段數量更超過4,000個，珊瑚養殖的方法是向日本沖繩縣恩納村漁民學習的，使用培育的珊瑚進行研究不僅環保安全，還能系統性的進行珊瑚生物學研究。
