Coral is a lot tougher than used to be thought...In the Pacific near Bikini atoll, it was surmised that the coral would never rebuild after the H-bomb tests of the 1950's....it has greatly.

Now, even places like Truk lagoon and all over the area are flourishing with coral...Jacques Cousteau found new coral growth in 1969 and that was only a little over 20 years after the entire area was pummeled beyond recognition during the end of WW2.
