What will happen to coral reefs as the oceans continue to warm? How can we scale up the success of coral reef interventions? How long have there been coral reefs on the planet? What is considered a coral reef? How is an “individual coral” as an organism defined and how long do they live? Do coral have a nervous system? How is evolution studied in organisms such as coral? How does a coral’s microbes influence how they survive under ocean warming? Can symbiotic algae help baby corals survive future heat pulses? What is the impact of microhabitats on coral reefs? How does the accelerated state of changing weather patterns affect ocean animals? What would be the consequences of moving coral from one ocean to another?
