Aussie Scientists Freezing Coral to Protect them From Climate Change
Coral survived the dinosaur killer, the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, and the Quaternary ice age. But apparently we must spend millions on cryo-storage to protect coral from anthropogenic climate change.
Get it Right, Washington Post, Climate Change Isn’t Causing a Decline in Coral Reefs
Because climate change isn’t harming coral reefs, trying to protect coral health by fighting global warming is a misplaced effort.
Unexpected hope for millions as bleached coral reefs continue to supply nutritious seafood
Researchers studying coral reefs damaged by rising sea temperatures have discovered an unexpected ‘bright spot’ of hope for communities who depend upon them for food security.
AIMR Playing “Frying Bacon” Sounds to Combat Coral Climate Damage
Scientists working to save coral reefs from climate change are testing whether underwater speakers continuously playing reef mood music, mostly the sound of predatory shrimp attacking prey, can attract more…
Claim: Coral reef cover, biodiversity, fish catches have declined by half since the 1950s
. “The effects of degraded and declining coral reefs are already evident through impacts on subsistence and commercial fisheries and tourism in Indonesia, the Caribbean, and South Pacific, even when…
World’s first, satellite-based monitoring system goes global to help save coral reefs
Today, the Allen Coral Atlas released the world’s first, real-time, satellite-based global coral reef bleaching monitoring system. Combined with the Atlas’ reef extent and composition maps, scheduled for completion in…
Northern Red Sea corals live close to the threshold of resistance to cold temperatures
Coral reefs are highly sensitive to temperature change. Therefore, identifying those that respond differently to thermal stress aids in understanding the mechanisms of environmental adaptation in corals. In addition, researchers…
Preventing Ecosystem Collapse: Caribbean Coral Reefs
Media headlines have been promoting unrealistic fears of ecosystem collapse due to climate change. Such fears get supported when the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) designates some…
Coral recovery during a prolonged heatwave offers new hope
University of Victoria biologists have discovered how some corals managed to survive a globally unprecedented heatwave, in a first-ever study that provides new hope for the long-term survival of coral…
CSIRO Scientists Accidentally Prove Coral Rapidly Adapts to Global Warming
Guest essay by Eric Worrall CSIRO Scientists have subjected coral symbiont algae to heat stress over four years, and produces a strain of algae which can help coral thrive in…
