Synopsis
Heat waves are decimating coral populations, but some species are surviving and researchers aim to promote their growth to prevent ecological disaster.
Synopsis
Coral reefs face severe threats from rising ocean temperatures, leading to widespread die-offs. In response, researchers are studying resilient coral species that withstand heat waves. Directed by Su Rynard, "Corals, the ultimate metamorphosis" follows these scientists as they work to cultivate and promote these survivor corals. Their efforts aim to prevent ecological disaster and restore the health of marine ecosystems. The 53-minute documentary captures the urgency of this scientific endeavor against a backdrop of climate change.
