how does one save coral. Does it have to be entire colonies

yes - freezing tissue won't work. coral tissue is more fragile and if we did freeze it, we have no way to "unfreeze" it and get it to live

"But isn't nature the most valuable of resources for understanding technology of health and prosperity."

probably... but keep in mind that saving rainforest species (which is probably 100x easier than corals) is a stretch for many humans.


"So do you guys think it's worth it? For science?"

of course - and not only for science... for the health of the planet and thus the survival of many ecosystems. again, funding is still the biggest issue. social security, national debt and this war that weve spent 500+ billion on still hold higher priority to most americans and government.
