"The fourth global coral bleaching event is underway. It won’t be the last.

Even if we reduce the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, excess
heat will remain in the ocean.

I believe high-income nations such as Australia have a moral responsibility to
help coral reefs build resilience to heat stress, wherever they are in the
world. That includes making sure these methods are accessible to everyone.

High-income nations are largely responsible for climate change. They are also
better equipped and resourced to manage adverse events on coral reefs.
Australian scientists are leading research and development in this area,
selecting heat-tolerant corals for intensive breeding programs in aquaculture
facilities. These corals are then planted back into the wild, building reef
resilience."
