Pasifikteki mercan resifleri, özellikle de artan su sıcaklıklarının yol açtığı ağarma sebebiyle tehlikeli bir hızla ölüyorlar.Ama harekete geçmek için çok geç değil,Kristen Maharver'a göre . Karayipler'deki mercanların onlara zaman, uygun ve stabil su sıcaklığı ve koruma sağlandığında iyileşme gösterebildiklerine dikkat çekiyor. Marhaver bize neden geriye kalan bu kıymetli mercanları korumaya çalışmamız gerektiğini hatırlatıyor. ''Onlar her zaman türlerinin nesillerinin geleceği için savaştılar, şimdi sıra bizde''
