Hey, it's cool that you care so much about coral reefs and climate change — that kind of awareness is really important.
A lot of us care about climate change and coral reefs and the planet. The problem is that the biggest damage is often caused by large systems — like industries and governments — that prioritize profit over the planet. Even when regular people try to make eco-friendly choices, it’s really hard to make a big difference alone when the rules and incentives still let pollution and destruction keep happening on a huge scale. That’s why we also need collective action, policy changes, and accountability at the top.
Your voice matters though, and speaking up like you are is part of how change starts. Keep going. But keep in mind that people problems cannot be solved by technology alone. Even if you are able to develop technology to help coral reefs survive, you need massive funding and buy-in from various people and orgs with power to implement it in practice. That's way harder than coming up with the tech.
Also, food for thought: should we really be trying to genetically modify other organisms to be compatible with pollution or should we be reducing pollution in the first place?
