Hi, everyone,
I'm Symone Johnson.
I am your host
and a shark researcher.
When I'm out collecting data
about sharks,
one of my favorite
underwater activities
is seeing
the remarkable diversity
and beauty of coral reefs.
There is no doubt,
these are special places.
But corals
are having a tough time
adapting to
warmer ocean water
and the large amounts
of greenhouse gases
being absorbed
into the ocean,
changing its chemistry
and making it harder
for corals to bounce back.
In this series, we will look
at all the great benefits
corals have
to people and critters.
We will learn how super corals
are being developed in the lab,
and we will meet the experts
providing the science
and exploring solutions
that support a movement
to help corals
make a comeback.
