Tackling climate change remains the central battle, but around the world scientists are working on projects that may give coral a greater chance of survival, or at least buy it some time.

Can any of these schemes transform the fortune of this endangered ecosystem? Presenter: Sofia Bettiza Photo Credit: Getty Images
