Scientists discover heat-resistant coral reefs across 71 countries that could help protect oceans

A groundbreaking study has revealed the extensive mapping of over 64,000 square miles of heat-resistant coral reefs globally, empowered by artificial intelligence across 71 nations and 100 territories. These extraordinary underwater locales feature traits that help coral ecosystems endure and rebound from intense marine heatwaves. The outcomes of this research present an essential blueprint for focused conservation financing and the safeguarding of marine life during the alarming bleaching epidemic.
