KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — A team of scientists from the University of Miami, the Florida Aquarium and Tela Marine in Honduras is working together to transplant crossbred coral fragments onto a reef off Miami’s coastline that was devastated by coral bleaching two years ago.

They’re looking for ways to help reefs survive increased ocean temperatures caused by global warming and climate change.
