Parts of Great Barrier Reef suffer highest coral mortality on record

Raw Story  

Parts of the Great Barrer Reef have suffered the highest coral mortality on record, Australian research showed Tuesday, with scientists fearing the rest of it has suffered a similar fate. In one northern section of the reef, about a third of hard coral had died, the "largest annual decline" in 39 years of government monitoring, the agency said. Often dubbed …

WASHINGTON — Ocean temperatures in the Great Barrier Reef hit their highest level in 400 years over the past decade, according to researchers who warned that the reef likely won’t survive if planetary warming isn’t stopped.

Scientists say Florida Keys coral reefs are already bleaching as water temperatures hit record highs

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Some Florida Keys coral reefs are losing their color weeks earlier than normal this summer because of record-high water temperatures, meaning they are under stress and their health is potentially endangered, federal scientists said. Surface temperatures around the Keys have been averaging about 91 degrees, well above the normal mid-July average of 85 degrees, said Jacqueline …

Corals Can Still Bounce Back from Bleaching Even During Heatwaves if Humans Don't Interfere: Study

News 18  

Some corals can recover from bleaching even in long heatwaves as long as humans don’t interfere, scientists said Tuesday, raising hopes for the endangered underwater ecosystems essential to much marine life. “We found that corals were only able to recover from bleaching while at elevated temperatures if they were not also exposed to other strong local stressors,” Baum said.
