The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.CNN labelled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland.
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. According to a study published in October 2012 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.
The Economist is an English language weekly newspaper owned by the Economist Group and edited in offices based in London. Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in September 1843. For historical reasons, The Economist refers to itself as a newspaper, but each print edition appears on small glossy paper like a news magazine. In 2006, its average weekly circulation was reported to be 1.5 million, about half of which were sold in the United States.
The publication belongs to The Economist Group. It is 50% owned by private investors and 50% by Exor, the Agnelli holding company, and the Rothschild banking family of England. Exor and the Rothschilds are represented on the Board of Directors. A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. Although The Economist has a global emphasis and scope, about two-thirds of the 75 staff journalists are based in the City of Westminster, London. As of March 2014, the Economist Group declared operating profit of £59m. Previous major shareholders include Pearson PLC.
SCBI's Dr. Mary Hagedorn freezes coral sperm from the Great Barrier Reef. This sperm will go into Australia's frozen repository of coral genetic material, which Dr. Hagedorn and her team have established over the past three years.
http://www.ibioseminars.org/ Dr. Knowlton begins her talk by explaining what coral are and how they build reefs. Using many spectacular photographs, Knowlton illustrates the decline of most of the world's coral reefs over the past 30-40 years. She describes the effects of direct destruction such as dynamite fishing, as well as the more indirect, but equally catastrophic, effects of invasive species, excessive nutrients due to terrestrial run off, and ocean warming. She ends on a more hopeful note, showing how stringent conservation efforts in some places have resulted in healthier, more resilient reefs. In Part 2, Knowlton talks about the phenomenal biodiversity found in coral communities and why this diversity is important to reef health. She explains how difficult it is to classif...
With the world's corals threatened with extinction, scientists are using cutting edge technology to help these planetary treasures make a comeback.

A deep look at some of the truly advanced and surprising options that might become available to us as we improve our skill with genetic engineering, ranging from altering humans to adapting life to live on alien planets or to serve as machines. We will also look at methods for doing genetic engineering, such as DNA printing and CRISPR, as well as consider some of the ethical concerns associated to using this technology.

Feeding shrimp to a head of Acan corals.
Professor Steve Palumbi is searching the world's oceans, looking for heat resistant coral. To combat ever increasing ocean temperatures, he hopes to transplant the coral and create new, heat resistant reefs. For more: http://news.stanford.edu/features/2014/coral-reef/
Scientists collected sperm samples from spawning coral and cryogenically froze it, in an effort to preserve the genetic data of the coral and maybe even grow some of it back later. The Great Barrier Reef off the northeast coast of Australia is the largest coral reef system in the world. Coral populations in the Great Barrier Reef have been decimated over the past couple of decades, with more than half of the coral dying off since the year 1985. Scientists collected sperm samples from spawning coral and will cryogenically freeze it, in an effort to preserve the genetic data and possibly re-populate the reef at a later time. Just like a sperm bank, scientists would be able to grow new coral if they combine the frozen sperm with fresh coral eggs. Reseeding coral reefs would help wi...
