Rebecca HendricksHostIf you heard our episode with Dr. Oliver Salmoni, you might know that coral reefs are bleaching and dying out due to climate change all over the globe.
But scientists are now finding that coral is much more resilient than they expected.
Scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society and Macquarie University analyzed coral surveys from across the globe and found that there are three times more climate resilient reefs in the world than previously thought.
