The research, under the auspices of the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, showed that continuation of a «business - as - usual» approach would overwhelm
reef recovery mechanisms by 2050, leaving little living coral, which is threatened by rising sea temperatures.
Scientists at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University have completed a comprehensive review of the literature on the
mechanisms of potential coral resistance and
recovery across scales from global
reef areas to the microbial level within individual corals.
