The Coral Resilience Revolution: Why Some Reefs Will Survive Climate Change
A landmark study reveals three times more climate-resilient coral reefs than previously thought — but a staggering protection gap threatens to undo the science.
The Big Idea
The coral reef obituary might be premature. A major new global study has identified more than 165,000 square kilometers of coral reefs with the strongest potential to survive climate change — three times more than scientists previously believed existed. That's roughly 64,000 square miles of ocean real estate spread across 71 countries and 100 territories, all showing a genuine fighting chance against the warming, acidifying seas that have dominated reef headlines for the past...
