      Corals can breed.
      So if they could begin a scientific program in the hope of breeding tougher coral species that could survive some changes in the changing climate.
      The money for that kind of research could still be a problem.

      @@triccele Breeding corals to be hardier in higher temps and lower ph would help, that's why most corals die and some don't. Some are hardier than others. We need more sensitive corals to be bred to be hardier by fragging them and subjecting slowly to a more hostile environment. Via Higher temps lower Ph and different current speeds in a tank. Then we can try releasing them after a couple generations and see how they do.
