From Freezing Coral Sperm To Coral IVF, Scientists Have Big Plans To Save The Barrier Reef

You’ve probably heard that coral reefs are important, but a lot of people underestimate just how crucial they are for our survival. Our planet needs healthy oceans to survive, and healthy oceans need healthy reefs. Our oceans provide 50% of the world’s oxygen, their coral reefs support 25% of all marine life and coastal blue carbon ecosystems store carbon dioxide 30-50 times faster than forests. Basically, if reefs go, humans go. So it’s in our best interest to keep our reefs healthy. Which is why it’s so exciting that we have a bunch of clever scientists working on some pretty cool innovations to keep our reefs happy and healthy.
