Using IVF to Save Coral | Changing Planet: Coral Special | BBC Earth Science

Peter and his team collect thousands of spawn (reproductive cells) from corals, which could determine the fate of the reef. In this IVF process, their aim is to increase the chances of reproduction and fertilisation.

The best hope for coral and coral reefs is that everyone wins when a coral reef is protected, revitalized, or created. Well, everyone except trawlers, but I don’t really care what they think.

All fingers crossed!

Rich people :
" I will invest billions of dollars to reduce our carbon footprint " - proceeds to expand the company and production.
Poor science students :
" so im out here just breading corals in hopes to save them "

10* on this procreavtive proces !!! As said, when the reef gets restored ! This is unique, intelligent, logical, and a positive feedback cycle, leading to a healthy reverseal of current events happening arcross the planet. Other peeps should watch and change up their oceanographic and botanical studies and get this sperm/egg process doen ... much like the Svartberg Island Norse European vegetable/flowers/grain seed repository. Get these corals eggs into storage, and proper creation of further generations in needed recovery areas.

IVF?

[@lf3541]

Don't tell any American Republicans about this. Science and ESPECIALLY IVF is a BIG no-no for them, because: REASONS

[@dougieranger]

Because of Jesus. He is Lord. Or something. 🤷🏻‍♂️
