New discovery of resilient coral colonies offers a chance to restore and protect the reef against rising temperatures.
Recent studies reveal that certain corals in the Great Barrier Reef can withstand higher temperatures, providing hope for the survival of this iconic ecosystem. These heat-tolerant corals could play a key role in restoring the reef, which is under severe threat from climate change. Selective breeding of these resilient corals might accelerate adaptation, but reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains crucial for long-term success.
