In a race against time, Hawaii researchers are experimenting with breeding “super coral” to counter the effects of climate change on the world’s reefs

Watch the birth and development of a coral reef.

Corals spawn tiny bundles of eggs and sperm on moonless summer nights. Scientists work using red head lamps.

Bob Richmond, director of the Kewalo Marine Laboratory, walks us through the devastation to coral reefs over the past few years.

Scientists are racing against time in their effort to assist the evolution of corals so they are more resilient to climate change and pinpoint what is harming reefs in Hawaii and worldwide.
