  • The world’s first cryo-born baby corals have been successfully settled into their new and natural homes on the Great Barrier Reef.
  • They are created using cryopreservation techniques, which involve freezing coral cells and tissues at very low temperatures.
  • Cryopreservation uses cryoprotectants to remove water from cells during freezing & Support cell structures when thawed.
  • The project aims to deploy millions of heat-tolerant corals onto the reef annually to combat the effects of climate change.
