As the climate changes and oceanic heat waves become commonplace, corals bleach and reefs die off. Now, marine biologists from across the world are teaming up to counteract this catastrophe with a technique called assisted evolution. Follow scientists as they attempt to crossbreed heat-resistant corals—and even transplant corals’ algae—in a race to save reefs from extinction.
