Corals Can Withstand Another Century of Climate Change
Heat-tolerant genes may spread through coral populations fast enough to give the marine creatures a tool to survive another 100 years of warming in our oceans.
Behind the Restorative Effects of Coral Gardening
The technique involves planting fragments of nursery-raised coral on reefs in the wild to replenish depleted colonies.
Back-to-Back Bleaching Events May Have Wiped Out Half the Great Barrier Reef
Thirty percent of the coral system was wiped out by warming waters in 2016; another 20 percent died off this year.
You Should Be Terrified by Climate Change
Climate change is set to erode the reef at a record pace. What used to take centuries is now happening in less than a generation.
Rising Sea Levels Threaten Sea Turtle Eggs
Hatching rates on a remote island on the Great Barrier Reef are alarmingly low. Rising seas are flooding sea turtle nests on the island, but researchers are finding that's not the whole story.
Predicting How Sea Animals Will React to Climate Change
Such predictions could help fisheries prepare for the future.
Protect Coral Reefs and They Will Protect Us
Protecting the fish that graze among coral reefs could be one way to save ourselves from rising seas.
