Will These Corals Help Us Save the World's Reefs?

From the creator

After 400 million years and several mass extinctions, coral reefs around the world are set to disappear in a matter of decades. But the coral reefs in the Red Sea live in hyper-warm and saline waters that are similar to what the rest of our #oceans could look like in just a few decades. What can we learn from them, and how can we apply that saving to #coralreefs around the world? Created for the #G20 in Saudi Arabia, in service of the Presidency’s second aim of “safeguarding the planet.” OceanX's first-of-its kind survey in the #RedSea was only possible thanks to the partnership with NEOM, @BloombergDotOrg Vibrant Oceans Initiative, KAUST, @IucnOrg, with special thanks to CORDIO Founding Director Dr. David Obura and RSMAS and its Professor and Chair of the Department of Marine Geosciences, Dr. Sam Purkis. #onebigwave
