I used to live, and do archaeology in, New England (the one in the US).

Corals are tiny and create an exoskeleton that is fixed to something hard, like the remains of previously existing corals. So these organisms build up a geological stratum, a reef, beneath the surface of the sea, often close enough that parts of the reef are &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2016/04/20/this-is-the-worst-coral-bleaching-episode-in-australias-history/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">&#8220;This is the worst coral bleaching episode in Australia’s history&#8221;</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
