Study highlights coral risk
A study published on Thursday in the journal Nature warns that nearly half of the world's coral reefs are at risk of disappearing, according to a report. Coral decline linked to climate change
We know that corals are severely affected by climate change, which leads to rising ocean temperatures and more frequent bleaching events. Ocean acidification worsens the threat
Ocean acidification, caused by the absorption of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, further weakens coral structures and hinders their ability to grow and repair. Urgent action needed to protect reefs
The findings emphasize the need for immediate global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect marine ecosystems from irreversible damage.
