Corals in the Pacific Ocean have been dying at an alarming rate, particularly from bleaching brought on by increased water temperatures.

She points to the Caribbean -- given time, stable temperatures and strong protection, corals there have shown the ability to survive and recover from trauma. Marhaver reminds us why we need to keep working to protect the precious corals we have left. "Corals have always been playing the long game," she says, "and now so are we."
