You know those scare campaigns every few years about the Great Barrier
Reef facing extinction thanks to global warming?
Relax. It turns out that coral is actually so tough you couldn't kill it
with a nuclear bomb. In fact, much of the stuff just grows back fine,
the seas are so coral-friendly these days:
SOME corals are again flouri****ng on Bikini Atoll, the Pacific site of
the largest American atom bomb ever exploded, but other species have
disappeared. Ms Richards said she did not know what to expect when she
dived on the crater but was surprised to find huge matrices of branching
****ites coral - up to eight metres high - had established, creating
thriving coral reef habitat.
