                     CN-Coral Adapts as Planet Temps Climb

   Coral reefs are home to about one-third of everything that lives in the
   ocean. Reefs help protect coasts from storm damage and provide food and
   jobs for about 1 billion people. Rising ocean temperatures and
   increasing acidity, however, are killing them a rapid pace. As much as
   80 percent of the corals in the Caribbean are dead, as is nearly 75
   percent of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef on the
   planet. Study on heat tolerant coral may lead to new ways of reefs in
   warmer world.
