In the last thirty years, we have lost half of the planet’s coral. Ocean temperatures have now hit a record high, accelerating deadly coral bleaching events. But there is a glimmer of hope: so called “super corals”, the small fraction of corals that can survive bleaching. Acclaimed scientists in Kiritimati, Hawaii, Australia, Florida and beyond study the amazing properties of these coral asking, what can be learned from these survivors and how can this knowledge be used to save the rest? The stakes are huge, as corals are so vital to life in the ocean that even we humans cannot survive
