1998 18% of the world’s reefs died as a
result of a global bleaching event many
people believe that we’ve now lost up to
30% of the world’s reefs another 30% are
critically endangered and the potential
for us to see massive degradation in all
reef habitats worldwide is high by 2050
what we now know with our climate
changing the water is warming and the
water is becoming more acidic and these
are two stressors that are extremely
difficult for cars to cope with the
rates of change are so fast because of
our intervention the changes in those
colors that occur when the Carl’s health
declines and the image becomes paler and
paler and more washed out and you can
see it evokes an emotional reaction in
all of us
what we’re trying to do here is to
leverage 25 years of basic scientific
knowledge that gives us an inkling that
curls are perhaps a little bit more
flexible in their biology than we would
think that there are certain individuals
that are doing surprisingly well in
conditions that are killing others so
we’re interested in focusing on those
corals and then thinking about how we
might build capacity or breed cars that
are better able to withstand future
ocean conditions that is warmer and more
acidic I’m all about taking my skill set
and applying it in an area that I can
and that’s in the area of climate change
adaptation what happens if we don’t
mitigate fast enough the fossil
fuel-burning what do we do and the
solution is to attempt to assist corals
to adapt or acclimatize to the changes
at a rate that matches the rate of
change in the environment we have no
magic bullet answer we are at the early
stages of this project and we are trying
a lot of things we’ve done some pretty
amazing things to to do damage to the
planet but it’s our mo to react and then
event and and set the course one let’s
not be bogged down or paralyzed by the
enormity of the problem we are doing
with corals what nature does we’re just
trying to accelerate the rate at which
they do it to keep up with the very fast
rates of change in the environment
that’s the only way we’re going to go
forward
