Climate Central: Bad coral reef news seems to be never-ending these days. Case in point: on Monday, scientists announced that the world is in for an unprecedented third year of coral bleaching across the globe. The announcement comes courtesy of NOAA Coral Reef Watch, which keeps an eye on a number of climate factors that can stress reefs out. That includes rising ocean temperatures, which have absolutely pummeled reefs in recent years and will only ratchet up the pressure as the globe continues to warm. A...

Unprecedented': Third straight year of global coral bleaching to target U.S. reefs, scientists say

Washington Post: The longest-lasting known global coral bleaching event has caused vast damage so far -- including large swaths of dead corals in the northern sector of the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Now federal scientists expect the coral bleaching to continue across key reefs in U.S. states and territories this summer, in some cases for a third straight year -- a likelihood the scientists call unprecedented. All Northern Hemisphere U.S.-coral reefs are on alert for coral bleaching this year, said Mark...

Mongabay: The global coral reef bleaching crisis is about the get worse. The catastrophic event that began in mid-2014 is likely to continue this year, scientists from the the US National Ocean and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) warn. This is because sea temperatures will remain higher-than-normal for an unprecedented third consecutive year, they say. Coral reefs in the U.S. will be hit especially hard, according to NOAA. Reefs in Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida...
