The Coral Reef Research Hub is a career development resource for a growing community of coral reef professionals, researchers and early career scientists. At the core of our Hub is a free social media style interface that allows members to network with each other, create niche research groups and facilitate collaboration. The Hub also provides career opportunity listings, publication hosting, a mentorship program, knowledge sharing masterclasses, a small research grants program, and more. This makes us a unique online resource whose ultimate goal is to help those working to protect coral reefs around the world achieve their career and/or research aspirations.
