<b>Abstract:</b> The Eastern Pacific Barrier is considered a major obstacle to coral dispersal, yet genetic evidence suggests connectivity between Clipperton Atoll and the central Pacific. Using satellite-tracked drifter observations, Markov chains, transition
path theory, and Bayesian inference, I will investigate the oceanic pathways that may explain this apparent contradiction. The results reveal a seasonally controlled pathway from the Line Islands to Clipperton, with travel times compatible with extended larval
dispersal timescales.</div>
