🚨 Paper Alert!

In 2023, Mexican coral reefs experienced an unprecedented bleaching event.

But bleaching wasn’t the biggest issue.

Our study in Proceedings B @royalsociety.org shows a marine heatwave caused massive coral mortality and pushed reefs from production to net erosion

A global analysis of 15,066 observations from 2014 to 2017 reveals a historic crisis in #coralreefs:

- 80% of reefs experienced moderate or severe #bleaching
- 35% recorded significant mortality
- More than 50% of the planet’s #reefs were impacted

Cierran arrecifes de cozumel en febrero y marzo para mititigar afectaciones al coral. La CONANP anunció el cierre temporal de tres arrecifes en Cozumel durante febrero y marzo como parte de una estrategia para permitir su recuperación ante daños ambientales, aunque prestadores turísticos cuestionan la falta de información pública sobre los resultados de estas medidas.

During February and March, the El Cedral, Pared de El Cedral, and Punta Francesa #reefs in #Cozumel will remain closed to the public. The measure aims to mitigate #coral #bleaching and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease.

Hallan una relación clave entre los días de calma en el mar y el blanqueamiento de corales: las consecuencias Un estudio advierte que la falta de viento impide que el océano se enfríe y genera un calor que puede ser mortal para los arrecifes

The effects of #climatechange on the #ocean have been underestimated. A study with participation from #UNAM reveals that when the loss of #reefs, #fisheries, and #biodiversity is included, the social cost of carbon nearly doubles.

As reefs vanish, assisted coral fertilization offers hope in the Dominican Republic In an underwater nursery just off the Dominican Republic coast, tiny corals born in a laboratory are slowly growing under the eye of conservationists.

Lovely, encouraging story on what the Dominican Republic is doing to help restore their coral reefs.
