Are Coral Reefs Coming Back at Beau Maxine blog

Are Coral Reefs Coming Back. While scientists studied a coral reef ecosystem in the south pacific, rising temperatures led them to believe it was. Record levels of heat in the ocean are causing a worldwide mass bleaching event on coral reefs, as seen here on the great barrier. In 2020, a study funded through an arc center for excellence found that roughly half of the great barrier reef’s corals had disappeared in the last few decades, with the remainder projected to vanish in the next century if we don’t curb planetary warming. Coral are still alive when they bleach, but they’re at risk—essentially immunocompromised—and many eventually starve and die, turning a dark brown. While the majority of the world's reefs are now under threat or even damaged potentially beyond repair, a new study offers. Both the vibrant colors and bright sound that coral reefs are known for can disappear when damage occurs, but a new study shows. Overall, the record high hard coral cover seen last year was welcome news, representing recovery across much of the reef in the absence of common coral killers. But what about recent heating? Scientists are urgently transplanting, fertilizing and enhancing corals to help them adapt to warmer oceans, but rebuilding entire reefs will be daunting
