Coral reefs are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth, largely due to human impact and climate change. 

This week, the newspaper, The Guardian, published information about a new study released by the journal, Royal society Open Science, led by Australian government scientists, where certain interventions could buy the Great Barrier Reef another two decades. Some of these interventions are controlling coral-eating starfish and a procedure called "cloud brightening", which consists in spraying sea water to make low-altitude clouds more reflective.
