Local Efforts to Save Coral Reefs May Be Futile
2016-07-21 14:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Corals in remote and relatively pristine reefs fare little better overall amid global warming than those growing alongside heavily populated coastlines, according to research published Wednesday. The new paper, published in Nature's Scientific Reports by the University of North Carolina, reinvigorated debate among reef scientists over whether local safeguards and programs could save some of the world's most spectacular and crucial ecosystems from being wiped out. Scientists agree that coral...

Giving coral reefs a future worldwide coral reef conservation through research, education, outreach, and restoration

Curacao Chronicle: During the last decade, SECORE evolved from a mostly volunteer project of dedicated coral lovers with a scientific and aquaristic background, to an internationally operating and well-known nonprofit organization. We work together with a worldwide network of scientists, aquarists, officials, conservationists and supporters. Dr. Dirk Petersen, SECORE founder, and Executive Director: This third?ongoing?global bleaching event, the poor conditions of many reefs, and the alarming decrease of coral...

Florida's coral reef system in rapid decay, scientists say
2016-06-27 13:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: The most terrifying thing lurking under the waters of the Atlantic Ocean may not come with razor sharp teeth. Scientists say Florida's coral reef system, the third-largest in the world, is in rapid decay, with a variety of threats edging the delicate ecosystem closer to collapse sooner than anyone believed possible. "We didn't think this would happen for another 50 or 60 years," said Chris Langdon, a marine biologist at the University of Miami, who published a new report on the health of the reef...

Image: John Howell via Flickr Worst-ever bleaching event affects 93 percent of the Great Barrier Reef as rising temperatures and sea levels bring swift death to vast swathes of colourful corals. Corals affected by mass bleaching on the northern Great Barrier Reef are the sickest Australian scientists have ever seen. The corals have been hit by unusually high sea temperatures a consequence of El...

Coral bleaching likely to last through 2016

NanoNews: A recent survey found that as much as 35% of coral died in some regions of the Great Barrier Reef during the current bleaching event, though NOAA researchers said Monday that it is too early for a full global assessment of how much coral has died. NOAA presented its grim outlook for the world`s coral reefs at an worldwide symposium being held this week in Honolulu, Hawaii. "Our satellite based products show that this is now the most widespread, largest bleaching event to ever occur globally",...
