Corals have an iconic significance for Australia, which has the best-preserved reef system in the world. The Great Barrier Reef is worth more than $6 billion per year to the Australian economy, and provides employment for 68000 people. The research will provide insights into the molecular bases of stress and disease in corals and the internal mechanisms by which corals attempt to combat them. The results will allow the design of strategies for better reef management, resulting in economic, environmental and social benefits for Australia.

珊瑚对澳大利亚具有标志性意义，澳大利亚拥有世界上保存最完好的珊瑚礁系统。大堡礁每年为澳大利亚经济带来的价值超过 60 亿澳元，并为 68000 人提供就业机会。该研究将深入了解珊瑚应激和疾病的分子基础以及珊瑚试图对抗它们的内部机制。研究结果将有助于设计更好的珊瑚礁管理策略，从而为澳大利亚带来经济、环境和社会效益。
