ScienceDaily: As record ocean temperatures cause widespread coral bleaching across Hawaii, NOAA scientists confirm the same stressful conditions are expanding to the Caribbean and may last into the new year, prompting the declaration of the third global coral bleaching event ever on record. Waters are warming in the Caribbean, threatening coral in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, NOAA scientists said. Coral bleaching began in the Florida Keys and South Florida in August, but now scientists expect bleaching...

Record warm oceans are causing third-ever global coral bleaching event

Mashable: The world's third-ever global coral bleaching event is now underway, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) along with a consortium of other researchers around the world. Mashable first reported the strong possibility that a global event would be declared in October, pending observations of coral bleaching in the Caribbean and Bahamas, which has now taken place. This bleaching event, which began in the north Pacific in the summer of 2014 and expanded to the south...

It's not just divers and nature lovers that should be concerned by record coral bleaching

Guardian: It may come as a surprise to learn that we are in the middle of the third great coral bleaching event in human history. And scientists are calling it the severest yet. The last great bleaching event was in 1998 when 11% of the worlds coral reef coverage was lost. Some areas like the Maldives lost as much as 90% of their reefs. This event is worse, possibly much worse. 38% of the planets reefs will be affected, with 12,000 sq km of reefs killed off entirely according to experts. If things go...

Mashable: Coral reefs around the world -- from Hawaii to the iconic Great Barrier Reef, eastward all the way to the Bahamas and beyond -- are in jeopardy of being severely damaged or even dying because of a dangerous spike in ocean temperatures, scientists say. Conditions are so dire that, provided coral bleaching soon spreads from the Florida Keys to the Bahamas, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is expected to declare as soon as two weeks from now that the third global coral bleaching...

EcoWatch: Hawaii`s majestic coral reef, which makes up roughly 85 percent of all coral reefs in the country, could be entering a perilous state. The state`s corals could experience the worst bleaching its history this year as surrounding water temperatures rise at abnormal rates, scientists warn.
