Great News,

in so many different ways,



coral bleaching has affected many reefs all over the world due to warmer waters and there's no sign that it will stop any time soon as our ocean temperatures continue to rise, corals are integral parts of the marine ecosystem, providing shelter and food for fish and other marine organisms, without them, the system will become imbalanced, causing many species to find other breeding grounds or food sources and for those on land, losing a natural physical barrier for when big waves come crashing, so here is great news that  scientists say they were able to spawn coral artificially in an aquarium setting, which is a good as it gets, there is now a real possibility that depealeated reefs can be resown, en masse, not by just one or two pieces a time as in coral frags that are grown and sold by aquatic outlets and commercial growers, but a cloud of millions of spores could soon be hopefully collected and released where a coral reef needs to be 'resewn', great news indeed.
