- Adam is joined by Daniel and Juno from Monsoon Aquatics, one of the largest exporters of Australian corals and fish. They discuss their sustainable methods for collecting and farming stunning corals from various regions of northern Australia and the Great Barrier Reef. Their conversation covers coral spawning research, advancements in optimizing flow and stability, fragging non-colonial corals, and their work in education, restoration efforts, and raising awareness. If you are a coral importer, you can set up an account by reaching out at: hello@monsoonaquatics.com.ca . Be sure to watch this episode on RUclips, as it is loaded with photo and video content!

Can't wait for Monsoon to possibly start a facility here in WA to help ship out the corals collected here
That would be cool! I saw a selection of WA corals at Aquashella; amazing stuff.
I'd love to talk to you on this podcast one day! We are looking at setting up a nice reef tank in the near future!
I saw their facility on a Parker’s Reef episode. Amazing.
Awesome, I'll have to check that out.. Also inperson one day, I hope! Thank you!
Spawning out of Australia! import/export might be easier from a country already versed in exporting coral. Get spawning Adam :). Crosses of some of your pieces would be sick.
Hopefully one of these days I'll get on it!
Been following monsoon for a while, great bunch of guys/ girls there , amazing stuff going ahead , cannot wait to visit next year 🙏🏼 great chat Adam, thank you.
thank you! Really enjoyed talking to them!
Great job once again, Adam 👍
Thanks Steve!
Regarding the possible CITES classification of the captive spawned corals. CITES does have "milder" classifications in such cases. However it needs to be done in such large scale for them to consider a separate classification that most likely one even larger mightnot be enough. There are plenty of good examples of this in bird breeding world such as Blue Peafowls or Ostrich. Wild Ostrich are CITES I species so practically trade is not allowed but captivebread birds and their plumes arenot CITES I and trade is allowed within certain brackets.
That makes sense, thanks for the info! Still very promising for the future. ;)
I don’t think we can change anything about the climate, unfortunately. You can try but you’ll go insane trying to make a difference.
