Which Indo-Pacific island’s waters are host to potentially cancer-fighting molecules?
Emilio Basilius of the Coral Reef Research Foundation holds up one of the hundreds of samples of marine organisms for the National Cancer Institute in the US.
For three decades, researchers from the Coral Reef Foundation have been traversing tropical waters in search of something potentially life-saving — marine molecules.
These organisms have the natural ability to fend off disease, and scientists believe their make-up could prevent cancer in humans.
For this Geo Quiz, we want you to name the Indo-Pacific nation where scientists have been searching for these cancer-fighting molecules. Can you guess it?
