University Of Miami Studies Climate Change Effects On Coral Reef

MIAMI, FL - MAY 20: A piece of Orbicella Faveolata coral is seen in a holding tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science after researchers collected the coral from an area of living coral reef off of the South Florida coast on May 20, 2016 in Miami, Florida. The team of researchers from Andrew Baker's lab is researching the affect of warming and ocean acidification on coral in South Florida. They are part of a world wide response to try and save the marine invertebrates from the unprecedented bleaching of coral that is taking place around the world from places such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to the reefs off of the coast of Florida.
