McLaren Racing and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation have announced a new initiative to accelerate coral reef restoration at a scale and speed never before attempted.
Together with McLaren’s Accelerator program, which takes the learnings and expertise from the fast-paced world of motorsport and applies them to real-world applications, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and its partners aim to fast-track and scale up the deployment of heat-tolerant corals.
Coral reefs cannot adapt fast enough to warming ocean temperatures, making them one of the most vulnerable ecosystems on the planet.
It is now evident that reducing emissions alone cannot secure the future of coral reefs. A toolkit of solutions is required to help restore coral reefs and enhance their resilience to climate change.
