Corals Of The Future: A New Way To Find And Propagate Them
What We Can't Sea
What will the corals of the future look like? And how can we help them thrive? Listen to this episode to learn more.
Despite the devastating effects of climate change on coral reefs, some corals are surviving on this warming planet. Identifying these heat-tolerant corals is important for coral reef restoration programs and to better understand the future of coral reefs. However, it is nearly impossible to identify heat-tolerant corals in a healthy ecosystem. And that is what makes a new study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society so important. With a new method to study heat stress in corals, scientists identified heat-tolerant corals located in offshore nurseries. Their methods inform coral restoration programs around the world and give us some hope the coral reefs will survive on a warming planet.
