Nature World: If carbon levels are limited and we manage coral reefs well, they could grow vertically and maintain pace with rising sea levels. At least, researchers from Florida Institute of Technology say that could very likely happen, and they recently reported their findings in the journal Royal Society Open Science. The scientists say that if we keep carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere at below 670 parts per million (ppm), ocean temperatures could continue to support those growing coral reefs, as a...

A team set to work, immobilizing the sharks mouth and tail, pouring water over it to keep it breathing and inserting a yellow plastic tag into a small hole punched in its dorsal fin.

15,000 sq km of coral reef could be lost in current mass bleaching, say scientists

Guardian: A massive coral bleaching event currently ravaging coral reefs across the globe could destroy thousands of square kilometres of coral cover forever, US government scientists have said. In figures exclusively released to the Guardian, scientists from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said about 12% of the worlds reefs have suffered bleaching in the last year. Just under half of these, an area of 12,000 sq km of coral, may be lost forever. But the devastation is only...
