A new study has shown climate change will have serious consequences for the ability of baby corals to cope with elevated sediments occurring inshore in the Great Barrier Reef.
New research has taken scientists closer to being able to identify corals that are less likely to bleach. The scientists hope this knowledge will be used to target protection of resilient corals and facilitate research into adaptation measures such as selective breeding.
Scientists have successfully produced in a laboratory setting a coral that is more resistant to increased seawater temperatures.
Researchers are a step closer to understanding how coral reefs re-seed themselves and adapt to growing environmental threats.
