IB Times: An international team of scientists and coral reef experts have, in a letter to the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, urged greater action to protect the iconic Great Barrier Reef -- a region that is currently witnessing its worst bleaching event on record. The letter, signed by past and present presidents of the International Society for Reef Studies on behalf of over 2,000 attendees of the International Coral Reef Symposium recently held in Honolulu, was sent to Turnbull on Saturday....

Native elders, scientists talk action, plans for fighting climate change in Alaska villages

Fairbanks Daily: The group of Alaska Natives sat in a circle inside the log hall and recounted the signs of climate change theyve seen in their corners of the state. There was no snow on the ground until November in Hooper Bay last year. Only ice, said Gladys Hale-Abraham, which provided broken bones for the elderly or young children who took tumbles on the frozen paths. Beverly Hugo, of Barrow, was laid up over last winter with a broken ankle from a slip and fall after unusual winter rains turned walkways to...

Climate Home: Corals are dying rapidly and sustained high sea temperatures will make it harder than ever to recover, say researchers A scientist assesses the damage in a bleached coral reef (Pic: XL Catlin Seaview Survey) 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 Nio, the periodic blister of heat that bubbles up in the Pacific and started...

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...
