[00:00:00]We've been biobanking coral samples from the Great Barrier Reef >> [music] >> for over 10 years, but this is the first time we've ever actually come over to Western Australia and been able to start [music] securing genetic diversity from these reefs here, and that's really, really important given the impact [music] that we saw with the bleaching last year. It's a great first step to get over here and start banking [music] some of that critical genetic diversity.
