TOKYO - Hawaiian "super corals" that have recovered despite living in warm and acidic water offer a glimmer of hope that dying reefs across the world can be saved, a new study says.

The research suggests that the gloomiest climate change picture of a world without the kaleidoscopic underwater habitats could still be avoided, according to lead author Christopher Jury.

"It's unfortunately but inevitably true that things are going to get worse for reefs over the next 20-30 years, but that doesn't mean it's unstoppable," said Jury, a postdoctoral researcher at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
