In 2016, the Great Barrier Reef experienced the worst mass bleaching event on record due to a marine heat wave, sapping the corals' color and making them more vulnerable. Now scientists believe that ...

Researchers have developed new technologies to create a carbonate skeleton that could substantially speed up the rate of coral growth. A team of researchers from the King Abdullah University of ...

Coral restoration could become easier and quicker with the use of 3D printing. As the technology matures, it could be used to rapidly and reliably create support structures for corals to grow on.

A team of researchers is developing a solution using robotics and manufacturing techniques to help grow a million new corals each year. Erica is a CNET en español Senior Content Producer. She has ...

Researchers tested how well staghorn coral skeletons withstand the forces of nature and humans in a new study. The findings will inform efforts to successfully transplant nursery-reared coral into the ...

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. What are the abiotic and biotic interactions that structure this diverse ecosystem? Corals are members of the phylum Cnidaria, a ...

This summer, it was all over the media. Driven by the climate crisis, the oceans become increasingly acidic. Unfortunately, the skeleton structures of coral reefs might deteriorate in more acidic ...

Corals, the foundation of ocean biodiversity, are threatened by climate change. But new research suggests that these organisms might be more resilient than previously thought. Analysis of nitrogen ...

A new study has revealed why some corals exhibit a dazzling colorful display, instead of turning white, when they suffer 'coral bleaching' -- a condition which can devastate reefs and is caused by ...
