After last year's lethal marine heat wave, coral scientists are looking at ways to help coral survive another potential round of dangerous bleaching.

Taurus will take its first deep-sea mission in late July. It will be able to take tissue samples from deep-water sharks and help restore and repair coral communities.
-
A deluge of rain and consistently overcast skies earlier this month helped keep scorching temperatures at bay — at least for now.

Scientists working to save Florida’s ailing reef hope Caribbean coral thriving in hotter water could bring some relief.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced more investments into Florida’s artificial reefs and an extra day added to the spiny lobster mini season this year – exclusively for Florida residents.
-
A group of environmentalists and divers hope to have the reef line just off Miami Beach eventually declared a marine park where fishing in some areas could be off-limits.

Scientists say temperatures that have gone "crazy haywire" hot, especially in the Atlantic, are close to making the current global coral bleaching event the worst in history. It's so bad that scientists are hoping for a few hurricanes to cool things off.
-
With rising water temperatures threatening Florida’s coral reefs, scientists have worked to relocate the animals in order to save them. But one rescue operation run in part by Disney and Sea World in Orlando has been doing this for years - even before the latest bout of extreme heat.
-
A new artificial reefs program that scientists hope will help reduce stress on the Florida Keys' fragile marine ecosystem has started this month — with the first project off Key West already in the works.
-
Climate change is heating oceans faster than the world's coral reefs can handle. So scientists are breeding corals that can withstand hotter temperatures – but only to a point.

“It spread so rapidly in the Caribbean, which suggests it could spread quickly through the Pacific," said Isabella Ritchie, a Ph.D. student at USF and the lead author of a recent study.
