Laboratory experiments confirm the accuracy of numerical modeling in simulating coral bleaching, according to new research ...

If the world wants coral reefs and soft sand beaches in the future it will have to grow them itself, argues visiting ...

A critical issue in reef conservation efforts is the slow rate at which corals can recover from damage. Although some branching corals can grow rapidly, most grow only a few centimeters annually ...

During this time, the temperatures remained high. Alex told me that around 90% of the branching corals at Lizard Island died. Even Percy’s “kitchen” – a boulder coral where the ingenious ...

Restoration projects heavily favour quick-growing branching corals. The delicate branches of these corals are more susceptible to becoming fragments of opportunity, and are also easier to ...

SYDNEY, April 15 (Xinhua) -- New research from Australia's Southern Cross University confirms the accuracy of numerical modeling in predicting coral bleaching, marking a significant advance in reef ...

Many different species of coral are bleaching.” Branching through shallow waters along Australia’s western coast, the 300-kilometre (185-mile) Ningaloo Reef is one of the largest “fringing ...
