At Thailand's Chulalongkorn University, marine biologists have been growing coral which is seemingly more resistant to higher sea temperatures
Growing more species that are heat-resistant involves, what the professor terms"coral IVF".
In the dark water, using a big mesh bag contraption, they collect the sperm and eggs before separating them in the lab so they can control the fertilisation conditions. "So, it's quite scary because coral is home to thousands of animals and gives so many things to us. I think it's time for us to do something seriously about climate change," says Dr Chavanich.Scientists have been doing underwater gardening
Global warming has wiped out 14% of coral in a decade according to a recent report by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network. "If we pay attention and care more about our ecosystem it would be good for our environment and our planet."This involves a kind of extreme gardening where the scientists have to dive down to the seabed and stick the tiny baby corals to artificial reefs.
