The coral reef ecosystem, that takes up less than 1% of the seafloor, sustains the livelihoods of up to one billion people and 25% of Marine life. But by 2050, less than 30 years away, over 90% of the world’s reefs are projected to die. That’s why a small group of scientists are growing coral 50 times faster and more resilient than in the wild. If they get this right, there will be coral reefs for future generations.
