With coral reefs in crisis due to climate change, scientists have engineered a bio-ink that could help promote coral larvae settlement and restore these underwater ecosystems before it's too late. In a paper publishing May 14 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers demonstrate that the ink could boost coral settlement by more than 20 times, which they hope could contribute to rebuilding coral reefs around the world.

What good is boosting coral settlement if the environment in which an ecosystem thrived in has changed from nurturing to lethal.

" Scientists have discovered a new baby dispersal method that makes sowing lava pits more efficient."

Yay.
