Using a pioneering tool known as the Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS), researchers “stress tested” hundreds of coral colonies across both coasts of the Emirates to measure how corals cope with extreme heat.
“The UAE is home to corals that already survive in the world’s warmest seas... With CBASS, we can pinpoint the most heat-tolerant individuals and use them to seed new coral nurseries and restoration projects across the Emirates.”- John A. Burt
