Scientists can now genetically engineer changes in coral in the Great Barrier Reef. That's a pretty good sign for saving the Reef, since it means they might be able to make the coral more resistant to bleaching and other dangers. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: Inverse

We're still discovering& dozens of new species of coral in the Great Barrier Reef. This is pretty encouraging -- it means that, in some groups, biodiversity is up to three times higher than researchers originally thought. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: haveagonews.com.au

Dugongs (cousins of the manatee) are multiplying in the Great Barrier Reef. That's pretty surprising considering the damage the Reef is taking, but it's happening because seagrass, which they eat, is regrowing abundantly. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: National Geographic

Electrified metal frames could help regrow the Great Barrier Reef, scientists think. They put the frames on damaged parts of the reef, then let electricity run through them -- this helps the coral grow up to 3 or 4 times faster. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: New Scientist

Scientists are trying to re-seed the Great Barrier Reef with an underwater robot. The LarvalBot travels along damaged parts of the reef and seeds them with baby corals numbering in the hundreds of thousands. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: NBC

For 13 years, there was a Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands. Gay activists formed it in 2004 to protest Australia refusing to recognize same-sex marriages. They dissolved it in 2017, when SSM became legal. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: De Facto Borders

Scientists are trying to save the Great Barrier Reef with a sperm bank for coral. Coral makes sperm, so scientists are freezing samples in a sperm bank. Their goal is to have the sperm of all the 400-odd coral species in the Reef. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: National Geographic

One of the biggest sources of harm to the Great Barrier Reef are, well, starfish. Millions of crown-of-thorns starfish are eating the Reef alive, adding to the damage from coral bleaching, hurricanes, and pollution. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: WWF

It looks like we might be able to revitalize the Great Barrier Reef with sound. Researchers found that playing the sounds of a healthy reef in a dead patch works well --wwice as many fish show up as would normally NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: NexusMediaNews.com

The Great Barrier Reef nearly died at least once before -125,000 00 years ago. The Reef almost drowned then, during a warm period that raised sea levels. Once sea levels stabilized, the Reef began growing again. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM — Source: CS Monitor
