Executive editor Vernon Loeb and oceans correspondent Teresa Tomassoni discuss the search for heat-resilient coral reefs that are surviving a warming planet. The world has lost over half of its coral reefs, with most remaining at risk of disappearing in 25 years.

A new global analysis suggests more coral reefs may survive climate change than previously believed, challenging the narrative of irreversible decline. The study identifies reefs with potential to withstand warmer temperatures, emphasizing the need for their protection.
