Coral Reefs,Bleaching Event,Climate Change

Many of the world's colourful coral reefs have turned white due to the fourth global bleaching event caused by climate change. Over 54% of reef areas in the global ocean are experiencing bleaching-level heat stress.

A researcher takes samples of corals she planted in December 2022 that have now already bleached fully in Miami, Florida.

Announcement of the latest global bleaching event was made jointly by Noaa and the International Coral Reef Initiative , a global intergovernmental conservation partnership. “What is happening is new for us, and to science,” said marine ecologist Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

“They’re going into a decline that we cannot stop, unless we really stop carbon dioxide emissions” that are driving climate change, Dr Obura added.
