Coral reefs are in crisis! 😱

Rising sea temperatures are causing coral bleaching, which could lead to the collapse of reefs around the world. 🌎

Take action to protect coral reefs! ✊

Reduce your carbon footprint, support organizations that are working to protect reefs, and get involved in local efforts. 💚

South-east Florida’s corals are now at the highest alert level for bleaching for the first time ever, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), with “significant mortality likely” for its corals amid abnormally hot ocean temperatures.

"Australia continues to have one of the highest per capita emission levels in the world. Unlike many developing countries with coral reefs, Australia has the wealth, technology and resources to sharply reduce domestic and exported greenhouse gas emissions. Until this happens, Australia cannot claim that it is doing all that it can to protect the Great Barrier Reef." Prof. Terry Hughes

Cooling off in the ocean doesn't mean what it used to; Florida's Manatee Bay recorded 101 degrees Fahrenheit waters this week.

I honestly don’t get anyone who does anal bleaching or anything else to deal with darker patches. If you’re insecure I’m not judging, I use to be bothered by my own. Hopefully anyone who does can come to terms with it, so they save the money, and use one less product on their bodies. #gay #fetish #kink #anal #bleaching #bodypositivity #selflove #health #forttroff

Hotter land and sea surfaces. #Climate deniers cherry-pick the troughs. One today said how cold it was in Sydney this year!

Scientists also look at trends. This trend is clear, and it is damaging.

E.g., Prof. Terry Hughes explained increasingly frequent #coral #bleaching events, and how it is ever more difficult for corals to recover between events.

   "An international research team has investigated this surprising and paradoxical coral bleaching episode. The unexpected event was related to the passage of anti-cyclonic eddies that elevated sea levels and concentrated hot water over the reef, leading to an underwater marine heatwave that was largely hidden from view at the surface. The findings have recently been published in Nature Communications".

Scientists studying #reefs across five Indo-Pacific regions found that the ability of butterfly fish individuals to identify competitor species and respond appropriately was compromised after widespread loss of #coral caused by #bleaching.

Felt safe in here. I was the only client on one full side & their air ventilation system is good.

(Reuters) - Scientists working on Australia's Great Barrier Reef have successfully trialled a new method for freezing and storing coral larvae they say could eventually help rewild reefs threatened by climate change. Scientists are scrambling to protect coral reefs as rising ocean temperatures destabilise delicate ecosystems. Great Barrier Reef has suffered 4 bleaching events in the last 7 yrs https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/science/scientists-freeze-great-barrier-reef-coral-world-first-trial-2022-12-19/ #ClimateCrisis #GreatBarrierReef #Ecosystems #CoralReefs #bleaching

Great Barrier #Reef #bleaching: Australia needs to reduce emissions by about 74 per cent to be consistent with stopping warming at 1.5C. In addition to those threats to corals, destructive gill net #fishing is still allowed in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which kills dugongs, turtles, dolphins and protected shark species. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-29/united-nations-queensland-great-barrier-reef-danger-report/101705908 #climate #Biodiversity

Bleached sea sponges found in New Zealand waters for first time

Bleached sea #sponges found in #NewZealand waters for first time. The university’s marine biology professor James Bell said in some parts as many as 95% of the sponges were bleached. New Zealand was no exception, with 2021 its hottest year on record. Temperatures in April were still unseasonably high, with coastal water temperatures up to 2.6°C above average.
