Scientists Move Coral to Land
Scientists in Florida moved coral to land. The sea is very hot now. Hot water can kill the coral. So they keep the coral safe. Divers took it to tanks inside.
This coral helps build reefs. Hot water killed a lot of it before. Now there is very little left. The scientists are worried this year.
Reefs help fish and people. They also bring tourists. So the coral is important. But the coral makes babies in August. Moving it now may be a problem.
