This year following issues with international collaborators (health issues and fieldwork constraints), the focus for fieldwork has been shifted domestically towards deeper areas of the reef. However, recruit data at shallow and mesophotic depths and DNA information on corals from shallow to deep could still be obtained through the international collaboration of this project.As planned in the initial proposal, the results of this project have been presented at the INTECOL2022 in Geneva, Switzerland, the Japan Coral Reef Conference in Ishigaki, Japan, and at the Gordon conference on Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Los Angeles, USA.In terms of publications, two papers (in Scientific Reports and Marine Pollution Bulletin) reporting on some results of this project have been published.

今年，在与国际合作者的问题（健康问题和实地考察的限制）之后，实地考察的重点已从国内转移到珊瑚礁的更深区域。但是，通过该项目的国际合作，仍然可以获得浅层和中水深的招募数据以及从浅层到深层的珊瑚DNA信息。按照最初提案的计划，该项目的成果已在瑞士日内瓦的INTECOL2022、日本石垣的日本珊瑚礁会议和美国洛杉矶的戈登中孔珊瑚生态系统会议上发表。在出版物方面，发表了两篇论文（《科学报告》和《海洋污染公报》），报告了该项目的部分成果。
