Laeticia Hedouin Works On The Super Corals

TATAKOTO, FRENCH POLYNESIA - NOVEMBER 27: The scientist Laeticia Hedouin works in the lagoon on November 27, 2021 in Tatakoto, French Polynesia. Tatakoto, a remote atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago of French Polynesia, is surrounded by a lagoon rich in marine life. Like many regions worldwide, its corals are subjected to thermal stress caused by elevated temperatures. Yet, they have developed an exceptional heat resistance, a rare trait that could help restore degraded reefs. CRIOBE (French National Center of the Sciences - CNRS) is studying this unique resilience in collaboration with the 1 Ocean missions, supported by UNESCO. (Photo by Alexis Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
