Forty Years Show Coral Reef Decline
Recent studies reveal that the phenomenon of coral bleaching is accelerating rapidly, with corals losing their color and nutrients due to rising ocean temperatures and pollution. This has led to a 9.5% decline in coral cover in recent times. Bleaching events are occurring more frequently, with the intervals between these episodes shrinking to just a few years instead of decades. Coral reefs are vital because they support a quarter of marine life, provide coastal protection, and supply food for millions of people. However, they are now suffering significant losses that threaten their long-term sustainability.
