This 30 minute video examines how coral reefs are threatened by global warming, and how they could be saved.
In the fifth lecture of the series "Biodiversity in the Age of Humans," Dr. Stephen Palumbi of Stanford University describes the threats to coral reefs, including global ocean warming from climate change. Some corals can survive unusually high temperatures by virtue of their genetic makeup. These heat-tolerant corals may hold the key to preserving coral reefs into the future.
