Scientists transplant crossbred corals to help save Miami 's reefs from climate change.

They're looking for ways to help reefs survive increased ocean temperatures caused by global warming.

Scientists from the University of Miami , the Florida Aquarium , and Tela Coral in Honduras are transplanting crossbred coral fragments onto a reef off Miami ’s coast.

If the corals thrive, it could provide a blueprint for working across the Caribbean to share corals.

Baker said it's the most exciting project he's worked on during his 20-year stint at the University of Miami .

"This is a project about international collaboration, about the fact that our environment really doesn’t have closed borders," said Juli Berwald .
