An Australian conservation team is putting together a comprehensive living biobank of coral species in case we need to rebuild the world’s reefs in the future.
Living Coral Biobank plans to collect and house more than 800 species of the world’s hard corals in a dedicated facility in Port Douglas, Northern Australia.
The biobank is biodiversity insurance, says Dean Miller, director of the Living Coral Biobank project.
