Assisted Evolution and the Future of Coral Reefs
- "We believe that assisted evolution and synthetic biology could offer more opportunities than risks for climate-hardening coral reefs, as long as such technologies are developed and deployed under a stringent and adaptive framework that includes extensive societal consultation." - Excerpt from Nature Ecology & Evolution referencing methods like translocating certain coral genotypes able to survive in warmer more acidic waters, to areas with struggling reef systems.
