As the oceans warm we can help out by seeding corals in areas that were previously too cool to allow for coral survival. Corals can be easily "fragged" (branches broken off and glued onto other rocks can grow - this is often done in the reef aquarium trade) and moved to areas that are not as warm. Under natural circumstances this kind of migration would take a while but perhaps humans can help speed up the migration into waters with more favorable temps.
