Abstract Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by marine heatwaves, prompting the need for proactive interventions that enhance coral thermal tolerance. Assisted evolution, which aims to accelerate natural adaptation rates, has emerged as a promising approach. However, programmes of assisted evolution must outpace the escalating frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves. Here, we present a Roadmap for accelerating progress towards using assisted evolution to enhance coral thermal tolerance.

Just three weeks later, we got a call — a marine heat wave was building, and water temperatures on the reef were dangerously high. Our transplanted corals were bleaching under the heat stress, turning bone white.
