Florida coral is dying after water temperatures exceed 100 degrees.
Water temperatures in the Florida Keys hit 101 degrees late last month, causing rapid coral death.
Now, researchers are scrambling to bring surviving species to land to preserve them in the event of even higher temperatures. While coral make up less than 1% of all ocean life, a quarter of marine species rely on them to live.
