Key points

• 101 East visits Palau and Australia to investigate if "super coral" can support the rainforests of the ocean survive the climate crisis.
• 101 East investigates whether Palau could hold the key to saving the world's coral reefs from climate-driven destruction.
• Scientists in Australia believe this technology could be the best chance to save coral reefs from annihilation and will spread larvae on the Great Barrier Reef.
• As the global mean temperature continues to soar, Palau is cultivating "super coral".

For context, the small Pacific nation of Palau has avoided the mass coral bleaching events that have devastated major reef systems like Australia's Great Barrier Reef since its reefs are unusually resistant to heat.
