Corals from Aus' 'Coral IVF' trial survive bleaching, on track to reproduce
Coral populations from Australia's first "Coral IVF" trial on the Great Barrier Reef in 2016 have survived bleaching events and are on track to reproduce next year. Scientists said the larvae restoration technique worked just as they predicted and large corals can grow from tiny microscopic larvae within few years. The technique was first used just off Heron Island.
