Building artificial reefs to improve the #BalticSea ecosystem 🪸
EU-funded project Reef Nienhagen is addressing habitat degradation in the Baltic Sea by installing artificial #reefs, helping the fish population grow.

"We are entirely connected with #nature and, in turn, the #reef...Every action, every decision we make has an impact on the #environment around us...if you take positive [actions] to reduce your #carbon #emission, this in turn will have a really positive effect on #reefs around the #world...each of us individually are connected and...if we work together, we can have really large and positive impacts."

Alarm as seawater heats up off Florida Keys, imperiling reef
Super-heated seawater off the Florida Keys has grown so perilous to the world's third-largest barrier reef that scientists are now removing samples of coral from ocean nurseries to place in cooler land-based tanks.

»New study shows that anthropogenic debris (mostly #plastic) prevails at 77 of 84 #coral #reefs from the Pacific, Atlantic & Indian Ocean incl. some of Earth’s remotest & pristine reefs,e.g. uninhabited central Pacific atolls.A lot of it is #fisheries-related.«

Dubai is building artificial reefs to attract more marine life and tourists. The project, called Reefscapers, involves sinking steel structures that mimic natural coral reefs and provide habitats for fish and other organisms. The reefs also help protect the coastline from erosion and enhance the beauty of the underwater landscape.

Considering where #sea #temperatures are headed – both long term and particularly this year – the best time to act was 20 years ago, but the second-best time to act is now.
What are we as a global community going to do about it?
And is what we're doing right now (30% protections/restoration/etc.) enough?

Projected #ocean #warming and #deoxygenation will increase the duration, intensity and severity of #hypoxia, with >94% & 31% of #reefs experiencing weak to moderate and severe hypoxia, respectively, by 2100 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 5-8.5.

Many years ago my parter and I spent many days snorkelling lots of the reefs around The Philippines.
Same as everywhere, we're changing the planet and not for the better :(

"Nowhere else in the world are coral reefs abused as much as the #reefs in the #Philippines.”

An El Niño is forecast for 2023. For coral reefs, this is a terrifying thought.
Experts say #coral #reefs take decades to recover and many (like the ones around Kiritimati) haven't bounced back from the last big El Niño.
“I shudder to think what will happen to those reefs if another heat wave is unleashed on them this soon,” says marine biologist Julia Baum.
I look into the #future in my latest piece for @mongabay

#Mesophotic #reefs are different from Euphotic ones, but not only biologically, also sedimentologically. With cutting-edge #AUV and #SyntheticApertureSonar, we can begin to see how.
