if you want to see a microcosm of how wonderful and fragile our oceans are all in one movie, watch this film. You will be moved and touched and hopefully motivated to take action. #myoctopusteacher #oceans #endangered #octopi #reefs #snorkeling
🚨 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

The thermal threshold for the collapse of warm-water coral reef ecosystems is estimated at 1.2^{C}. With the current long-term warming average at 1.4^{C} and peak years hitting 1.6^{C}, this ...
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

Recent changes in reef zonation of western Atlantic coral reefs, brought about by lack of recruitment of elkhorn (orange), staghorn (yellow), and massive boulder corals. Without these key reef builders, the reefs have already measurably eroded. Image credit: Rashpal Dhilon.

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.
