Researchers at the University of Miami and University of Florida are studying ways to help coral reefs adapt to climate change. Using the soft-bodied sea anemone Nematostella as a model, they aim to understand coral skeleton components. Meanwhile, a catalog of coral microbes and metabolites is being developed to monitor reef health. Coral restoration efforts face challenges from ongoing anthropogenic heating, prompting the need for effective strategies.
