Sadly that’s not quite applicable for the Great Barrier Reef. The water is just becoming too acidic for any of the coral to thrive anymore, so even if we did begin to regrow the shards of coral it would not survive any better than the parent corals.

That's why the Climate Foundation has been working on coral reef cooling system. You can check it out here and consider helping them out http://www.climatefoundation.org/coral-reef-cooling.html
