The future of coral reef protection lies at the intersection of technology and collaboration, say Australian researchers who ...

Australian researchers are designing a global real-time monitoring system to help save the world's coral reefs from further decline, primarily due to bleaching caused by global warming.

Around the world, scientists are racing to halt coral decline – not only by building artificial reefs but also by cultivating heat-resistant corals and even using sound to stimulate reef life.
