Amy Apprill grew up in the Midwest, but was always attracted to the ocean. Now a resident expert in microbial ecology in WHOI’s Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department, she’s studying a growing epidemic affecting coral reefs across the world, known as stony coral tissue loss disease. With an eye for detail, Apprill’s forensic approach analyzes coral sickness down to differences in DNA.
In this video for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, we used existing interview and footage/images to edit a story about one scientist’s quest to help save coral reefs.
