Japan coral protectors race to save reefs from heat 'bomb'

Okinawa's coral reefs face severe damage from climate-driven marine heatwaves. Scientists are employing "heatwave simulators" to study coral resilience and adaptation. Efforts include breeding and transplanting corals to restore damaged reef ecosystems. Some methods involve creating "miracle coral" with enhanced resistance to warmer waters. These interventions aim to help marine life adapt to a changing ocean environment.
