Coral grows faster when it's near islands populated by seabirds, whose poop has the right formula of nutrients to help it bounce back from bleaching.

A new handheld microscope lets scientists monitor coral health in real time, underwater, without harming reefs.

Another grouping of the animals was dying from rapid tissue loss disease. Smith's team of volunteers had planted the baby coral in the last year and watched them thrive.

And the likelihood of the corals dying depends on the severity of the bleaching and how long it lasts. It also depends on the severity of the heat stress.

Climate change is decimating the worlds’ reefs. Transplanting healthy coral onto dying reefs may save them. Some transplanted corals seem to thrive while others fail, but researchers weren’t ...
