"Researchers from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, the University
of Melbourne and the Australian Institute of Marine Science found that
corals in the Great Barrier Reef have enough genetic diversity to
survive rising ocean temperatures for another century, which is
half-a-century more than previously thought."
