Acc/to Wiedenmann, #CoralReefs support a third of all #marine #biodiversity either directly or indirectly. “If the #corals die, this support structure that provides food & homes is lost. Consequently, many #species will suffer, as well,” he said. Acc/to a 2020 study, rising #sea surface #temperatures & acidic waters could eliminate nearly all surviving #coral #reef #habitats by 2100.

…Beyond the loss of a thriving underwater #ecosystem, #coral death can degrade #reef structure & leave coastal communities vulnerable to #flooding hazards, acc/to USGS. In Florida, for example, #CoralReefs act as a natural buffer to #storm energy that can shield coastlines from destructive forces.

Since the early 1980s, scientists say, #CoralBleaching events have increased in frequency & severity as the burning of #FossilFuels drives up the #planet’s #temperature. #NOAA documented the first global #coral bleaching event in 1998 & the second in 2010. During the previous global event, between 2014 and 2017, 68% of the world’s #CoralReefs experienced bleaching-level #heat stress.

“The ongoing global #CoralBleaching event is the biggest to date,” #NOAA scientists said.
Bleaching occurs when #heat upends the #coral’s metabolism, causing it to turn white as it expels the symbiotic algae that provide it with nutrients & color. Bleaching doesn’t mean the coral has died, but prolonged bleaching — which scientists say is made more frequent & severe by rising #sea #temperatures — can kill it.

Largest #coral bleaching event on record harms 84% of #global #reefs
Bleached coral dies when exposed to #heat stress for too long, threatening the bountiful #marine #ecosystem that depends on it for survival.
#CoralReefs around the world are losing their color at an unprecedented scale as a result of rising #sea #temperatures, marine scientists announced this week, w/ 84% of reefs exposed to bleaching levels of heat since 2023.

How we can make Dallas safer for the White Rock bald eagle
Wildlife conservation depends on physical boundaries.
The #NatureConservancy of #Canada says a new #conservation area north of #Cranbrook #BritishColumbia will protect important #BirdHabitat & preserve #grasslands in the province's southeast.
The #conservancy says money from #GovernmentOfCanada & private donors went to buying up 271 hectares of land in the #Skookumchuk #Prairie in the province's southeast corner.
