From #CoralReefs to coastal #mangroves, marine life rebounds when we ease the pressure. Less noise. Less #pollution. More protection. A healthier ocean is within reach - if we choose it.

Here’s what can happen if we reimagine the future of the #ocean, where it’s full of life. Can you see it?

Researchers race to understand disease killing #Caribbeancorals at unprecedented rates
Corals, like humans, sometimes get sick. But stony coral tissue loss disease #SCTLD is different, researchers say. It afflicts an unprecedented number of species, has spread over a vast area, kills incredibly quickly. Massive coral colonies, some hundreds of years old, can die within weeks or months, leaving reefs unrecognizable
