Up Next ► Coral Reefs are Dying, but Here’s Why There’s Still Hope • Coral Reefs are Dying,...
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.

Do you think this is a good approach?

@anandabanifikri7412 Год назад

I think this is a good approach. As Indonesian with more then 17.000 islands, it should hold the most healthy coral forest. I lives in the capital with island nearby, dead corals are everywhere. It was dead because polluted water comes from the city. With this approach, people and government are pushed to make the water quality better because they already paid for some services.

@schadenfraud5134 Год назад

I'd be surprised if there is no unforeseen consequence by doing this. Considering how complex and unpredictable nature is, we'll rebuild one thing and demolish another. Technology has led us here- I don't think you can have both it and nature coexist in the long run.

@@schadenfraud5134 I would like to point out that some of the most diverse ecosystems on earth are basically human influenced, and transformed. When we do it right we end up making things better for everyone and everything. Alot of lands that people think of as the 'Natural Landscape' are basically human playgrounds shaped by our activities over long periods of times. Like beavers and ants, human technology is no more 'Good' or 'Bad' for nature at large than anything else, it's ultimately about us figuring out how to balance that technology with everything around it. Humans shaped the Amazon, the grasslands of multiple continents, and the jungles of india. Unforeseen consequences will definitely come... but we can Easily foresee the consequences of Not doing this kind of work. And it's not good.

@patroklos5196 Год назад

The constantly reduced populations of the coral reef fauna and flora caused by changes in the bio-ecosystem due to Global warming. In my opinion, artificially accelerating the reproduction rate of selected coral species is not a long-term solutions to the general problem. Most corals have a very narrow temperature tolerance, as a result corals will first expel the symbiotic algae that live inside them causing them to lose an important food source and then become vulnerable to disease, and eventually die if the marine heatwave lasts too long. Given that climate change over time and water get warmer, it is only natural that the pre-existing marine life ecosystem will forced to adopt to the new environmental conditions or extinct. As a result corals are more likely to end up in deeper water, which means some spices will survive, but they receive less sunlight and grow with a slower rate, meanwhile many natural habitats will change. It is causal to take steps in order to sustain life on Earth but we must be well aware of the fact that our planet have faced many extinctions over it's lifetime. -> Ordovician-silurian Extinction, Devonian Extinction, Permian-triassic Extinction, Triassic-jurassic Extinction, Cretaceous-tertiary Extinction.

@greenhalghmedia Год назад

I'm studying marine biology and i'm particularly interested in coral reef research, but I'm curious about one part of this, the "training" of the coral polyps. My understanding is that the zooxenthalae symbiont changes depending on the water temperature because different zooxenthalae have different tolerance threshholds. The coral bleach and die when that temperature gets too high and there are no zooxenthalae present that can tolerate the temperature. So I'm kind of confused how this training period can effect that symbiotic relationship because ultimately the survivability depends on the zooxenthalae symbionts available when the coral is planted in the ocean.

@williamchamberlain2263 Год назад

Could it help train the coral polyp to buffer the symbionts over a wider range of conditions?

@Kevin_Street Год назад

I'm just going by the video, but it sounds like their approach is twofold: 1. When 80% of a reef dies, they select coral polyps to "farm" from the 20% that survived due to greater heat tolerance, and 2. By exposing them to repeated stresses they see which samples are most resilient. Those samples are then mated with each other to produce the most stress resilient stock with the highest tolerance to heat. My guess is that "training" isn't teaching the coral anything, it's done to expose any hidden weaknesses so those samples can be removed from the breeding stock.

@martimattia1997 Год назад

more than training looks like a breeding selection to keep the more resilient ones

@kyle9401 Год назад

It's just like captive bred corals if you've ever had a reef tank. Back in the day the mariculture corals and especially any of them that used to be plucked off wild reefs would die way easier than one propagated in captivity. The ones in captivity have handled more abuse and are just more durable. (Hence just another reason to buy your corals cultured in captivity!) These guys probably selected polyps that lived through some bleaching events and decided to grow those since they were inherently.more durable. Tldr: bleaching doesn't kill the zooxanthellae it's just the expulsion of it by the coral. More durable corals are less likely to do that.

It'll definitely be important to monitor it for unintended consequences. We are in a tough situation where we're facing the loss of not just corals, but all the species and livelihoods that depend on them. A really difficult question in this age is weighing the risks of action, which always exist in some form, with the risks of inaction that we see before us. A real-life version of the trolley problem, but even trickier.

They should team up with Greenwave and/or Ocean Arks International. Both of those orgs use selected communities of organisms (e.g. mussels, sea kelp, etc.) to purify sea water while producing crops and ocean "livestock." Such partnerships might extend the range of areas where they can restore reefs (by restoring the "bad" water they can't otherwise grow reefs in).

@toogs8571 Год назад

This is a brilliant way to do things. People who are in environmental restoration and ecosystem protection always taut that "this ecosystem is truly worth (X) amount of dollars" or "if we preserve this area, (Y) amount of damages will be prevented annualy." And then they go and ask for grant money, form non-profits, etc, which leads to burnout from constant campaigning as well as reduced impact of meaning as they aren't advertising their actions as an incredibly valuable service, which they are. This approach makes more sense as you can sell companies on your ideas in order to secure funding for restoration. Business runs the world, so it's logical to approach for-profit businesses as a for-profit business that provides value for money.

The one that feeds and sustains our planet. I love seeing updates on Coral Vita. For profit is a good move and helps insure the project grows and continues versus flatlining or hitting a plateau.

I do the same thing with my crayfish (assisted evolution) making them stronger to live in harder conditions as a form of renewable food sources

Hi..What is the difference between assisted evolution versus selective breeding.

@gwenaronimacaroni1136 Год назад

@@DadanHamdaniTop from what iv gathered Assisted evolution is exposing organims to stressful situations that helps increase their resistance over time, when these resilient organims are “created” they are than breed with others to make their next generation stronger and less effected by changes in the environment Selective breeding is selecting organims with better traits to get an offering that has the desirable traits u bred them for. Essential selective breeding is used in assisted evolution to pass on resistant genes to future offspring

I had an idea to breed faster growing and more oxygen productive trees to mitigate climate change, but speeding the evolution of corals to insure their survival is brilliant!!

Humans can find solutions. Hope this works! Great to learn they are for profit organisation that means they really mean business.

is there a potential for a super resistant variant to become an invasive species that will take over other marine ecosystems?

Fantastic idea ,scientists of the world research ,and investment in this field ,Goverments help the reefs for people ,and sea crautures a like .

Its not about " better " it's about predicting the future environment and trying to engineer something that can survive in it . If it changes to fast to adapt, genetic engineering can improve the adaption speed . You can't beat the environment. You can control it , or adapt to it . Survival is not easy .
