PBS纪录片《救援珊瑚礁 Reef Rescue 2020》揭示了“超级珊瑚”的开创性科学和拯救地球濒临危险的珊瑚礁的新计划。通过将精美的水下探险，高飞的人工智能驱动的全球珊瑚礁绘图任务以及在澳大利亚、夏威夷、佛罗里达和南太平洋进行的前沿辅助进化研究编织在一起，这个一个小时的专题向我们介绍了“超级珊瑚”：仅有一小部分珊瑚在致命的高温下生存下来。通过在世界各地创建同样具有韧性的珊瑚，科学家们认为他们可以为已死亡和濒临死亡的珊瑚礁赢得宝贵的时间。

REEF RESCUE unveils the groundbreaking science behind “super corals” and a radical new plan to save the Earth’s imperiled coral reefs. Weaving together exquisite underwater expeditions, a soaring, A.I.-powered, global reef mapping mission, and cutting-edge assisted evolution research in Australia, Hawaii, Florida, and the South Pacific, this one-hour speCIAl introduces us to “super corals”: the small fraction of corals that survive otherwise lethal hot temperatures. By creating similarly resilient corals the world over, scientists believe they can buy precious time for dead and dying coral reefs.
珊瑚礁不仅美丽，而且还是超过四分之一的海洋生物的栖息地，对全球各地的人类社会至关重要。但随着气候变化和海洋热浪变得司空见惯，珊瑚正在漂白，珊瑚礁正在死亡。现在，来自世界各地的海洋生物学家正在合作使用一种称为辅助进化的技术来抵消这一灾难。跟随科学家尝试交配耐热珊瑚，甚至移植珊瑚藻，以挽救珊瑚礁免于灭绝的竞赛。

NOVA: Reef Rescue Coral reefs are not just beautiful, they are also home to over a quarter of all marine life and are crucial to human societies around the globe. But as the climate changes and oceanic heat waves become commonplace, corals are bleaching and reefs are dying off. Now, marine biologists from across the world are teaming up to counteract this catastrophe with a technique called assisted evolution. Follow scientists as they attempt to crossbreed heat-resistant corals, and even transplant corals’ algae, in a race to save the coral reefs from extinction.
