Why this card
The news covers lab experiments showing researchers can revive bleached coral polyps that have lost their symbiotic algae. I chose 2031 for a modest timeline reflecting early application of these methods rather than large-scale reef restoration. The image emphasizes the individual coral cells regaining their glow—the moment of recovery at the scale where this science operates.
