Adam is joined by Dr. Samuel Nietzer and Dr. Mareen Möller: coral reproduction experts. Sam and Mareen met in 2008 during their undergraduate studies at the University of Würzburg. Their research collaboration began in 2010 with trips to Guam, USA, focusing on coral reproduction. They both earned their Masters, PhDs, and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Oldenburg under Prof. Dr. Peter Schupp, often traveling between Germany and Guam for Acropora mass spawnings. Since 2012, Sam has managed the research aquarium facilities at ICBM, and both continue their scientific work at the University. In December 2020, they achieved Germany's first planned Acropora spawning using a Spawning Lab LLC container, leading to multiple successful spawnings of over 10 Acropora species. Their research centers around understanding and improving upon the larval settlement stages. Sam works closely with Tropic Marin, who has supported and helped fund their research for the past few years. In 2024, they founded SciReef LLC, aiming to produce and sell 'Made in Germany' corals by the end of 2025, advancing both coral conservation and the aquarium market.
