Frozen Repository for Hawaiian Corals.

Scientists at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology have created the first frozen bank for Hawaiians corals. Frozen bank cells are viable and frozen sperm have already been fertilize for the corals to make coral larvae. The coral reefs are experiencing extinction due to human impact. Such as greenhouse gasses from fossil, pollution from waste plants and dynamite fishing for destructive use. This is a well developed ecosystem that is going to be extinct unless action are not taken for the next 40 years. Saving the coral reefs can be life changing for the global ecosystem as scientists can help to infuse gene and boost the effect of the natural population.

This is an important discovery for the global warming conservation problems, it is one of the factors that contribute to other organisms population and ecosystem. Just like many scientists before trying to remake the genetics from a certain organism that have already been extinct, but fail because it is impossible to know how the DNA models are suppose to be to recreate a strand. Frozen cells is the ideal to keep cells viable in place so that extinction will not occur.

This article explain how it is important to save the marine ecosystem especially Hawaii. It is also a warning to the global warming factor that losing one ecosystem might affect other ecosystems. Anthropogenic is a big impact upon the marine ecosystem, whether it is for farming or commercial fishing could cost a certain species to be extinct.
