Hi everyone, I'm Symone Johnson, and in
addition to being your host, I'm a shark

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:17.820
researcher.  When I'm out collecting data
about sharks, one of my favorite

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:24.100
underwater activities is seeing the
remarkable diversity and beauty of coral reefs.

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:28.740
There is no doubt these are
special places.  But corals are having a

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:33.059
tough time adapting to warmer ocean
water and the large amounts of

00:00:33.059 --> 00:00:38.489
greenhouse gases being absorbed into the ocean, changing its chemistry and making

00:00:38.489 --> 00:00:44.129
it much harder for corals to bounce back.
In this series we will look at all the

00:00:44.129 --> 00:00:49.620
great benefits corals have to people and
critters.  We will learn how super corals

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:55.110
are being developed in the lab, and we
will meet the experts who are providing

00:00:55.110 --> 00:01:01.500
the science and exploring solutions that
support a movement to help corals make a comeback.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.459
Let's get started!
