The new coral reef, measuring 1,600 feet in height, is the first to be discovered in more than 120 years.

Researchers discovered the coral gardens using a remotely operated vehicle known as SuBastian.

The findings are some rare good news for corals around the world, which are facing numerous severe threats.

A scientist told "Newsweek" he was shocked to find some and coral communities have vanished completely since 1928.

"The tourism industry, desperate to maintain tourist numbers, is looking beyond the natural beauty of the reef because it's not quite what it was," said dive operator Tony Fontes.

"The presence of corals in these extreme mangrove habitats challenges our understanding of the conditions some corals are capable of living in," researcher Emma Camp said.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing coral reefs around the world today.

Some 5,000 feet beneath the surface of the sea lies a world of weird and wonderful species.

Coral reefs need all the protection they can get, but will coral reefs ever be safe in the face of rapid climate change?

But today's threats are far more intense than those of the past.

By using a tool known as CRISPR-Cas9, scientists may be able to identify corals that are genetically predisposed to survive as the climate changes around them.
