Corals in the Pacific Ocean have been dying at an alarming rate, particularly from bleaching brought on by increased water temperatures. But it's not too late to act, says Kristen Marhaver. She points to the Caribbean -- given time, stable temperatures and strong protection, corals there have shown the ability to survive and recover from trauma. Marhaver reminds us why we need to keep working to protect the precious corals we have left. "Corals have always been playing the long game," she says, "and now so are we."

I kept coral reef tanks and part of the inspiration was the pollution and death stories I always read. Especially in the south China sea

Hi Curt, That is AWESOME! That is a wonderful thing to do. We must take action to save our oceans and corals, your skills with raising corals may well help with repopulation in the near future. The water's high temperatures may continue to be a problem ... but i therefore believe corals might be grown further North and South of the Equator in previously cooler water that are now habitable for coral.
following you now for more!
keep well

Thanks for sharing that video. I have always wanted to dive the great barrier reef before it was bleached away. Good to hear that there are coral reefs adapting and surviving.
