00:04Corals are massive living underwater ecosystems housing thousands or even millions of species of marine life.
00:10And now oceanic researchers have just discovered the largest single coral organism ever.
00:15So big you can even see it from space.
00:17It's located just off the coast of the Solomon Islands.
00:20Experts say that the coral stretch is more than 100 feet long and it's also old, dating back at least
00:25300 years.
00:26That means it's three times the size of the previous record holder in American Samoa.
00:31Coral reefs are marine megastructures which lay over extremely large areas, like the Great Barrier Reef, which covers a 134
00:38,000 square mile portion of the ocean floor.
00:40Reefs are an interconnected group of many coral structures, with that same one comprised of nearly 3,000 individuals.
00:47However, this new record holder is one single coral, which experts say is around the size of a massive cathedral.
00:52And finding this huge healthy coral is a good sign, especially considering nearly half of all reefs around the world
00:58are under threat due to climate change.
01:00With the director of coral reefs at the Wildlife Conservation Society telling CNN recently,
01:05This shows that there are still environmental conditions where corals can survive and thrive, even potentially through the accelerating impacts
01:12of climate change.
01:13What results were a twenty million inches by tracks with direction terrorists?
