Coral reefs around the world are dying as a result of rising sea temperatures. But a research team from Australia has through "Coral IVF", ie in vitro fertilization for corals, set results that give hope for the survival of corals. - I am very excited, this shows that we can grow large corals from small larvae in just a few years, says Peter Harrison, researcher at Southern Cross University.
In 2016, researchers planted coral reefs on a dead coral reef off Heron Island, off Australia's east coast in the Great Barrier Reef.
For four years now, the larvae have had time to, hopefully, develop new corals.
And after an initial check, the researchers now give good news that raises hope for the future of coral reefs.
See the result of the research project in the video above.
