As extreme heat destroys more coral reefs, scientists are racing to find new — and sometimes unexpected — ways to keep them alive. Some are trying to encourage corals to reproduce more, while others are testing for heat fitness using picnic coolers. A recent study has a new approach, and it comes from an unexpected

- Phys.orgDeep reefs provide corals little refuge from extreme ocean heatOnce regarded as potential safe havens for corals in a warming climate, deep reefs, which lie at depths between 90 and 150 meters (295 and 490 feet), are no longer sheltered from increasingly intense marine heat waves, according to a new study in Geophysical Research Letters.
