I watched this video because I am very attracted by the coral reef. This video is about a young woman, who was fascinated with corals and she started doing research on them. She thinks that corals are amazing, she studies the interactions between corals and algae which builds the reef structure. The world climate is changing and it’s very important to understand how this impacts on the corals. There is a large community of bacteria associated with corals but we don’t know exactly what they do for them. This young woman is trying to discover how important this interaction is for coral function. She studies only the corals that live in the shallow waters down to 200 meters. In the next decades corals will face with many threats like pollution and climate change. She is trying to understand better how to preserve the corals from this potentially dangerous future.
I think that this research is very interesting: it explains one of the risk of the change of the climate because if the world climate is changing, there will be problems for the amazing world of the corals and the coral reef will be transformed or worst it will disappear.

Excellent summary and analysis, Clara. From what I understand, the danger to coral reefs around the world is very real. It's important that the destruction of this marine ecosystem becomes part of evryone's daily discourse…so that we can participate in reversing the damage being done.
