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...

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...

Dying Coral Reefs Likely To Be Walloped For Third Year In A Row
2016-06-20 20:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Coral reefs, already reeling from a two-year global bleaching event that has left large swaths of ocean biomes dying or dead, will likely continue to suffer during a third year of warmer oceans, researchers warned Monday. Key reefs, particularly those around the U.S., will likely face widespread destruction as the third global bleaching event in recorded history continues, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. Warm oceans have wrought havoc on the planet's coral since mid-2014,...
Some coral reefs are thriving, but they're not where you might think

Monitor: At a time when any news about coral reefs tends to point to their demise, an international group of scientists has bucked the trend to bring us a measured account of optimism. Determining that the world has for too long stood by and documented the decline of these vital ocean habitats, trying simply to understand their breakdown, they decided to consider data from more than 2,500 reefs worldwide in an effort to draw a roadmap toward preservation. The results were undeniably a mixed affair,...
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...
