Australia’s Great Barrier Reef lost half of its corals to warming waters in less than three decades, and if current trends continue, children born today may live to witness the extinction of these iconic animals. Fortunately, it’s not too late to prevent this doomsday scenario from coming true. While sweeping international action is needed to reduce the carbon emissions that lay waste to reefs, scientists are simultaneously focused on helping corals cope in hotter, more acidic waters. One strategy is to prioritize healthy reefs before irreparable damage has been done.
