Nature Talk: Developing Super Corals: Newest Biosphere2 Research

We’ve lost over 50% of the world’s coral in the last thirty years.  67% of the Great Barrier Reef is dead!  What’s happening to the life sustaining “Rain Forests” of the ocean? The main reason is increasing ocean temperatures due to climate change.  The solution may be found right here in Tucson! Learn how the University of Arizona’s, Biosphere2 is attempting to develop a Super Coral capable of surviving the dual threats of temperature and acidification.
