Coral restoration efforts could be dramatically improved with technologies that support the survival and growth of baby corals, suggests a new study.

The decline of coral reefs represents threat in food security, coastal protection, and the livelihoods of millions of people.

Under countries’ current greenhouse gas emissions policies, our simulations suggest that coral reefs will decline globally by a further 70% this century as ocean temperatures continue to rise.

The new reefs are created in roughly three hours time at a cost of about $4 thousand.

When the researchers applied the gel, called SNAP-X, to surfaces in lab experiments it increased coral larvae settlement by up to 20 times compared to untreated surfaces. SNAP-X could help overcome a ...

More than 80% of the world's coral reefs fell victim to harmful bleaching and is now in "uncharted territory" with the worst global bleaching event in recorded history.

Harmful bleaching of the world's coral has grown to include 84% of the ocean's reefs in the most intense event of its kind in recorded history, scientists say.

Record-breaking ocean heat has taken a devastating toll on one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, with coral bleaching on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef reaching “catastrophic ...

The world’s coral reefs are in the midst of an ecological crisis. These vital ecosystems, home to a quarter of all marine species and a lifeline for more than a billion people, are under ...
