    Stopping direct sunlight exposure to help stop coral bleaching is an awesome idea.

    Have to nitpick though, umbrellas protect you from falling water, parasols block light.

        I stand firmly corrected in the shade on this one.

      Though I suspect &quot;scientists deploy parasols for coral&quot; sounds a little too much like the reef is on vacation
