A diver checks the coral reefs of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. on May 9, 2019 in Moorea, French Polynesia. Major bleaching is occurring on the coral reefs of the islands in French Polynesia. The marine biologist teams from the Centre for Island Research and Environmental Observatory, specialists in coral ecosystems, are working on “resilient corals.” The teams identify, mark and perform genetic analysis of corals that are not impacted by thermal stress. They then produce coral cuttings which are grown in a “coral nursery” and compared to other colonies to study the resilience of the corals. (Photo by Alexis Rosenfeld/Getty Images).
