Heat-tolerant symbionts a critical key to protecting Florida 's elkhorn coral from bleaching during marine heatwaves.

Researchers tested 172 coral colonies from restoration nurseries stretching from Miami to the lower Florida Keys .

Findings come at a critical time as a global coral bleaching event -- officially declared in 2024 -- has already impacted 84 percent of the world's reefs.

Algal symbionts may prevent extirpation of the threatened elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata , in Florida during intensifying marine heatwaves.
