Kristen Marhaver studies corals, tiny creatures the size of a poppyseed that, over hundreds of slow years, create beautiful, life-sustaining ocean structures hundreds of miles long. As she admits, it's easy to get sad about the state of coral reefs; they're in the news lately because of how quickly they're bleaching, dying and turning to slime. But the good news is that we're learning more and more about these amazing marine invertebrates -- including how to help them (and help them help us). This biologist and TED Senior Fellow offers a glimpse into the wonderful and mysterious lives of these hard-working and fragile creatures.

Discover corals' secret lives: From mass spawning to forming reefs that shield and heal our world, a saga of resilience unfolds.

Innovations in coral science spark hope, revealing baby corals' potential to adapt and rejuvenate the underwater landscape.

Coral reefs, beyond their beauty, are vital for food, security, and medicine, yet face immense degradation by human activity.
