As the global mean temperature continues to soar, Palau is cultivating “super coral”. Scientists in Australia believe this technology could be the best chance to save coral reefs from annihilation and will spread larvae on the Great Barrier Reef. 101 East visits Palau and Australia to investigate if “super coral” can help the rainforests of the ocean survive the climate crisis.
