On Friday, May 11, 2007, Glenn Patton SFFFK's Managing Director presented Ben Mason a check for $3,500 donated by family and friends to continue Matthew Beard's research. In attendance was Matthew's mother Connie Beard, Family, Friends and Co-workers.
Ben Mason gave a presentation about Matthew Beard's discovery and how he was going to carry on the research. Matthew discovered that certain species of coral larvae are attracted to the color red. Research is currently underway to determine whether this attraction is "visual" or chemical. It is our hope that this knowledge can be used to enhance coral restoration.
