The future could be for our oceans as Coral Reefs grow again

  Posted by BBC Earth Life Is

Home to a quarter of the planet's marine life, wonderfully weird-looking, and of course brilliantly colourful, coral reefs are often hailed as one of the greatest ocean wonders.

Reefs have been seriously under threat for years from global warming and other human impacts, but the discovery of an ancient coral reef in the South Pacific and the amazing practice of 'coral gardening' could mean a turnaround for the ocean's reefs.

Read the full story on the BBC Earth Blog, including a video of coral gardening.
