A lesser-known coral found in Cape Cod�������יs cold waters could offer clues on how the organism can cope with environmental stresses that lead to bleaching.

The Cape�������יs local coral, Astrangia poculata, is a non-reef-building coral that can thrive in very warm waters or cold New England winter waters. Its range spans from the Caribbean to Cape Cod.

�������לTalking with people, nine out of 10 don�������יt know that there is coral on the Cape,�������ם said Loretta M. Roberson, a scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole.
