Recent research suggests that coral reefs may possess a greater ability to adapt to rising ocean temperatures and acidity than previously believed, offering renewed optimism for conservation efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and rehabilitating these vital ecosystems.
“These findings present a potential pathway for the future,” states a researcher from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, emphasizing that success hinges on global actions regarding climate change and management of local environmental stressors.
