"SINGAPORE: A new reef restoration initiative to plant 100,000 corals in Singapore’s waters is “an ambitious project” that the country has taken towards marine conservation, said coral reef biologist Karenne Tun.
The corals will be progressively planted and grown in the nation’s waters from 2024 to bolster biodiversity and improve the resilience of coral communities and reefs."

The Last #IceAge shows how rising #SeaLevels will transform #coastal habitats
Story by Chrissy Sexton, August 31, 2023
"The results of the study show that higher global temperatures will trigger a rise in sea levels that will lead to instability and profound changes to coastal #ecosystems, including #Tidal Marshes, #mangrove forests, #CoralReefs and #coral islands.
"'Mangroves and tidal #marshes act as a buffer between the ocean and the land – they absorb the impact of wave action, prevent erosion and are crucial for #biodiversity of fisheries and coastal plants,' said study lead author Neil Saintilan of Macquarie University. 'When the plants become water-logged due to higher sea levels, they start to flounder."
"In the worst-case scenarios, these coastal habitats, will shrink - and in some cases wash away - as they have in the distant past, according to the study."

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 #Australia #marine #heatwave forecast to be literally off the scale - Patch of Tasman sea expected to warm over spring and summer to temperatures that risk significant losses to sea life
Australia’s south-east could be in for a marine heatwave that is literally off the scale, raising the prospect of significant losses in fishing and aquaculture.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a patch of the Tasman Sea off Tasmania and Victoria could be at least 2.5C above average from September to February, and it could get hotter.
Oceanographer Grant Smith said the colour-coded scale the bureau uses to map forecast sea surface temperature anomalies stops at 2.5C. “We didn’t account for anomalies that high when we developed this ... it could be 3C, it could be 3.5C, but we can’t see how high it goes,” he said.
...
South-eastern Australia is a known climate change hotspot with its waters warming about four times faster than the global average."

@mazzeri well done! I agree, you are being conservative in your estimate. With multiple tipping points of major oceanic-atmospheric systems already crossed by now e.g. #GIS, #WAIS, #Amazon, #AMOC, #CoralReefs, it is clear that "the sky's the limit" in terms of impending climate destruction an human-caused destruction of our planet. Which says nothing about #habitat and #biodiversity loss. Or #ocean #acidification. Or, or, or ... The best guess is that the #AMOC will have completely broken down ca. 2050, quite possibly sooner. We are already in uncharted territory now, so to talk about future uncharted territory ... it beggars belief, especially as so much of this destruction has already been programmed by humans into #Earth systems #EarthSystems ... thoroughly enervating.

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

Having seem some of these corals in person, I fear I may be the last of my generation to do so. The future is bleak for coral reefs around the world, which is devastating to fisheries and people threatened by rising seas. We have the tools to fight climate change but are not transitioning to clean energy fast enough. Our kids will blame us for our inaction, and deservedly so.
