This is not surprising news, as species location boundaries have always moved with changing climate.

However it is good news, especially if Man looks after the new areas as suggested in the article.

Coral is one of the 'canary' lifeforms for global warming.

Hmm, good as far as it goes, but my understanding was that the acidification of the oceans caused by higher atmospheric CO2 tends to make survival harder for all corals. Presumably this effect is global and not confined to warm waters.
