Coral Reefs Contradict Expectations
2016-06-16 04:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ameica Herald: 15 from over 2500 reefs studied around the world were thriving despite unfavorable conditions. Some coral reefs contradict expectations: despite the common belief that corals are impacted negatively by overfishing, some of the ecosystems studied managed to surprise scientists. A new report published in the science magazine Nature mentions that 15 from over 2500 reefs studied around the world were thriving despite hostile conditions. The exposure to large human populations should typically...

Coral Reefs Doing Better Than Expected in Many Areas
2016-06-15 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: A new study found "bright spots" where corals are thriving, despite global bleaching events. Local fishermen are often good stewards of the ocean, a new study finds. Here, villagers from New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea, work their waters. Despite the unprecedented extent of coral bleaching around the world, a major new study has also found "bright spots" where corals are doing significantly better than anyone expected. And the reason for the improvement is simple: it comes down to how...

Coral bright spots offer clues to protecting threatened reefs
2016-06-15 15:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Some coral reefs are thriving and scientists say they may guide efforts to curb threats such as over-fishing and climate change which are blamed for widespread global declines. A major study identified 15 "bright spots" among more than 2,500 coral reefs in 46 nations, including off Indonesia, the Solomon islands and Kiribati where given local stresses there were far more fish than predicted. And the Great Barrier Reef off Australia, the world's biggest, was performing in line with expectations...

Can 'super coral' save the Great Barrier Reef?
2016-06-14 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: As fears mount over the Great Barrier Reef's worst coral bleaching event in recorded history, biotechnologists in Australia are looking at ways to grow "super coral" that is more tolerant of global warming, writes Ian Lloyd Neubauer. Heat-resistant coral is not an artificial construct. The mutation occurs naturally in the remote Kimberley region of north-west Australia, where the world's longest tropical tides create super-heated tide pools where corals have found ways to adapt and survive. "The...

NASAs JPL launches new research to save coral reefs
2016-06-12 20:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Modern Readers: America`s space agency has a new project, and it has nothing to do with space exploration. Instead, it`s all about making sure that the coral reefs of the world don`t get damaged much more than they already have. NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory has begun gathering data on coral reefs from 23,000 feet above, not only getting a better view of the reefs but also holding more potential for major discoveries than ever before. This new initiative is mainly designed to gauge the impact of climate change...
