Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough by successfully cryopreserving and reviving adult coral fragments. Using a method called isochoric vitrification, scientists froze these coral fragments in a glass-like state using antifreeze and liquid nitrogen, and then revived them by returning them to seawater. Notably, for 24 hours after revival, these corals displayed oxygen consumption rates comparable to those that had never been cryopreserved.

The AMOC is a system of ocean currents that circulates water within the Atlantic Ocean, bringing warm water north and cold water south.

The report highlights the critical role of coral reefs in the health of the planet and particularly in Florida's ecosystem.

The successful Kissimmee River Restoration Project will now allow it to be designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, ensuring special protections and future funding for conservation efforts.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center aims at restoring seagrass in the Banana River and the broader Indian River Lagoon. The initiative seeks to combat the decline of seagrass caused by poor water quality and algae blooms.

Multiple new studies highlight a rate of sea level rise that is ‘unprecedented in at least 120 years’ along the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern U.S. coast
