In a Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016 photo, rare species of Hawaiian coral being used to create a seed bank grows in a tank at the Anuenue Fisheries Research Center’s coral nursery in Honolulu. Most of Hawaii’s species of coral is unlike other coral around the world in that it grows very slowly, making restoration projects for endangered reefs in the state difficult. But state officials have come with a plan to grow large chunks of coral in a fraction of the time it would normally take. (AP Photo/Caleb Jones) (AP)
