Coral reefs, once the prolific producers of seafood stocks and tourism income, are reeling from the effects of overfishing and pollution. Now comes global climate change. In today's cover story of the ...

We knew the reefs weren’t doing well under the insidious march of climate change in 2011, when the global reef expedition started. But it’s nothing like the intensity of worry we have now in 2021.

A new report from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) confirms the deteriorating state of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The study assesses coral cover ...

In the race to save at least some remnants of the world’s coral reefs, a new study shows only one thing really matters—capping global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius.

By Elizabeth Fitt Coral restoration won’t save reefs from global warming, according to a recent study – at least, not the way we’re doing it now. The study, conducted by researchers at the ...

The total economic value of coral is estimated to be $30 billion. But global warming is seriously threatening that crucial component of the ocean biodiversity, the marine scientists said.

The fate of coral reefs around the world remains grim should global warming continue at its current rate, according to new research. Coral reefs will stop growing in the next decade or so unless a ...

In 2018, the International Panel on Climate Change reported that 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming would cause global coral reefs to decline by 70-90 percent (warming currently stands at 1.2 ...

The researchers documented the extent of the damage the reef off the coast of Australia sustained during the 2016 bleaching event, and found that only 8.9 percent of more than 1,000 reefs escaped ...

That's slightly less than the increase in global temperatures (about 0.18°C/decade) but does suggest these coral reefs have an innate capacity for climate resilience. Reefs are adapting ...

An international group of scientists has surveyed more than 2,500 coral reef systems across 44 countries to determine how to save them in the face of damage caused by climate change and humans ...

“If we go to 3, 4 degrees of global average warming which is tragically the trajectory we are currently on, then there won’t be much left of the Great Barrier Reef or any other coral reefs ...
