AIMS research into fast-tracking the adaptation of corals to warming oceans has received a welcome boost from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation

.

New results indicate the potential for 'assisted evolution' to increase the thermal tolerance of corals, and thus help their adaptation.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science is set to play a crucial role in the next stage of the largest coordinated effort to help the Great Barrier Reef adapt and build resilience to climate change.
