'Coral zombies' may spell doom for coral reefs around world
2016-06-22 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists have known for a while that coral reefs around the world are dying, and in a worst-case scenario they were counting on large, healthy-looking corals to repopulate. But a new study presented at the 13th International Coral Reef Symposium in Honolulu today shows that these seemingly healthy colonies are "Coral Zombies" with no reproductive ability, which makes them useless in a recovery effort. "It's pretty discouraging," said University of Central Florida biologist John E. Fauth,...
NOAA: Worlds Worst Coral Bleaching Event to Continue With No Signs of Stopping

EcoWatch: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts 2016 will be another year with significant coral bleaching; and scientists see no end in site. NOAA expects the bleaching event to hit the U.S. hard, especially in Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida Keys, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, according to a June 20 news release. The administration`s Coral Reef Watch believes there`s a 90 percent chance of widespread bleaching in the Pacific...

Global coral bleaching continues for a record third year
2016-06-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...

Global coral bleaching event to hit US hard, with no end in sight, scientists warn

Mashable: The ongoing coral bleaching event that has killed or severely injured reefs from the Great Barrier Reef to Hawaii and the Indian Ocean has set its sights on the U.S. during the rest of 2016 and into next year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The agency's Coral Reef Watch computer model outlooks show that the bleaching event will continue worldwide "with no signs of stopping," the agency said in a press release and media conference call Monday.

Unprecedented': Third straight year of global coral bleaching to target U.S. reefs, scientists say
2016-06-21 15:05:48| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...
