The threat is so serious that it has produced an unprecedented national research and “Noah’s Ark” rescue effort, where almost 2,000 corals have been pulled out of Florida’s waters and quarantined in aquariums around the country.

It's a new discovery that could lead to better detection of the disease before it's too late.

Now it's reached the most remote and healthy area of the reef. Wed, 02 Jun 2021 20:25:29 GMT /news/2021-06-02/coral-disease-reaches-the-remote-tortugas Nancy Klingener
