A search party is underway across the world's coral reefs.
As warming waters turn more coral into bone-white deserts, scientists are looking for the species and regions with the best chances of resisting global warming.
To find these "hope spots," divers are using creative methods to gather a greater number of observations from a wider range of reefs. Their bigger mission is to help steer conservation efforts toward the species that, with some extra protection, may be able to survive a warmer, more acidic ocean.
