There might be an upside to the loss of coral reefs. Their decline would mean oceans can absorb up to 5 per cent more carbon dioxide by 2100, researchers estimate, slowing the build up of this ...

Recent advances in cryopreservation are a lifeline for rapidly vanishing reefs. As sweltering ocean temperatures make graveyards of coral reefs across the Caribbean and beyond, a team of scientists is ...

Harmful bleaching of the world’s coral has grown to include 84% of the ocean’s reefs in the most intense event of its kind in recorded history, the International Coral Reef Initiative announced ...

A group that is pioneering underwater sculpture parks as a way to establish human-made coral reefs has deployed its first installation off Miami Beach.
