Question
Craig Downs found that these organisms were damaged by oxybenzones. Ruth Gates, the first female president of an organization named for these organisms, used “assisted evolution” to create “super” examples more resistant to environmental stressors. Chocolate heir Frank Mars is leading an effort to use star-shaped rebar to restore some of these organisms in Indonesia damaged by blasting. A tissue loss disease affecting the Scleractinia (“skle-RACK-TIN-ee-uh”) or (*) “stony” variety of these organisms was first observed near Miami. Cloud brightening can reduce the need for these organisms to expel photosynthetic algae due to high temperatures in a process known as bleaching. For 10 points, name these organisms that slowly built a “Great Barrier” off the coast of Australia. ■END■
