There is still hope to save irreplaceable coral ecosystems, but time is running out. Baby corals can ride ocean currents for hundreds of miles, but they can’t outrun climate change. And humans have a limited capacity to make new reefs in cooler waters.

There will be no legal recourse for the courts to stop Trump's government from doing whatever it wants whenever it wants. This is fascist government.
