Potential loss or massive degradation of all of our reefs. Down here, Climate Change is taking its toll. So this is essentially telling you that this coral is not dead. But a team of scientists is trying to engineer survival in an extreme future. What youre talking about here is epigenetics . Exactly, rapid adaptation. Will it work . This is techknow. A show about innovations that can change lives. The science of fighting a wildfire. Were going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity, but were doing it in a unique way. This is a show about science. Oh oh my god by scientists. Techknow investigates a coral catastrophe. Hey guys today we are going for a dive and we are talking coral reefs, im joined by dr. Crystal dilworth and marita davison. And, it sounds surreal to say but its possible that within our lifetimes, all the coral reefs will be gone. Scientists are saying that without some drastic changes, 100 of our coral reefs are facing degradation by 2050 which is only 30

And the problem is they are being attacked on all fronts,

Coral reefs like these, vibrant and teeming with life, may hold clues to the future of the worlds oceans. Coral reefs only make up a fraction of 1 of the ocean, but they hold 25 of the oceans species. Not only that, but they feed hundreds of millions of people and a billion people or more get some income from coral reefs. So this is an ecosystem that is really fundamental to humans on the planet. Steve polumbi is the director of the hopkins marine station. Hes studied coral reefs around the world. For decades, warming ocean waters have damaged, even killed coral, but now reefs are facing an insidious threat from a chemical change that is making ocean water nomore acid ick. Ocean acid fiction affects the entire globes oceans and affects organisms growth rate and making it more difficult to make shells. We know that fish actually react to dangers differently. With Ocean Surface waters now 30 more acidic than they were two centuries ago, protecting the reefs from acid fiction is no easy t
