This project uses nanoscale imaging to study cellular changes in corals, giant clams, and sea grapes, which are important to Okinawa’s marine environment and local industries.
By examining how diseases and environmental stress affect these species, the team aims to better understand the causes and develop effective solutions.
The findings could help improve sea grape cultivation, increase heat tolerance in giant clams, and support coral restoration, contributing to healthier marine ecosystems in Okinawa.
