Many scientists warn that coral reefs may be the first major ecosystem to face large-scale collapse, driven by factors such as bleaching, disease, and declining water quality, among many others.

Today, hundreds of organizations around the world are advancing these techniques as they fight to keep corals alive in a rapidly changing world.
