A Healthy Dose of #Coral Mucus https://oceanbites.org/a-healthy-dose-of-coral-mucus/
Coral mucus effects on bacterial growth, respiration, and grazing mortality in reef systems https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022098124000182
"#Corals, specifically the #Acropora species, regularly spew #bacteria-filled #mucus into the sea to defend against environmental and biological stressors. The mucus can trap and carry particles, energy, and large amounts of organic matter throughout the #ocean."

The massive die-offs of the global coral reefs should be a concern to all of us.
With the increasing ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching due to a symbiosis breakdown between coral polyps and algae, research on how to prevent this is ongoing.
Italian scientists have found that using antioxidants, like curcumin, to combat the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation causing bleaching protects the coral symbiosis.

Coralberries (Symphoricarpos orbiculatus). These are small, hard berries that are very abundant. If you grab a cluster it falls apart immediately into a handful of magenta BB-sized berries. Under the thin skin is white flesh with the texture of a bean seed.
The berries aren't edible by humans. The small flowers attract a lot of insects (especially bees) in the summer.

Agreed, and I note that *anyone* who uses VLSI semiconductor chips (~all reading this) or especially smartphones (i.e., with ARM CPUs) depends on work of trans women, Lynn Conway and Sophie Wilson, both Fellows of #ComputerHistoryMuseum (among many other honors):

I still have my copy of the classic Mead-Conway book (1980) and used to talk to Sophie at #HotChips conferences. -

"The study primarily focuses on the reef-building #coral which thrives in both #mangrove and reef sites... Mangrove #lagoons are characterized by hostile conditions similar to future #climate predictions for #CoralReefs: the water is warmer, more acidic and has lower oxygen levels."

The end of #CoralReefs as we know them
Years ago, scientists made a devastating prediction about the ocean. Now it’s unfolding.
By Benji Jones@BenjiSJones Apr 26, 2024
"More than five years ago, the world’s top climate scientists made a frightening prediction: If the planet warms by 1.5 degrees Celsius, relative to preindustrial times, 70 to 90 percent of coral reefs globally would die off. At 2°C, that number jumps to more than 99 percent.
"These researchers were essentially describing the global collapse of an entire #ecosystem driven by #ClimateChange. Warm ocean water causes #corals — large colonies of tiny animals — to 'bleach,' meaning they lose a kind of beneficial #algae that lives within their bodies. That algae gives coral its color and much of its food, so bleached corals are white and starving. Starved #coral is more likely to die.
"In not so great news, the planet is now approaching that 1.5°C mark. In 2023, the hottest year ever measured, the average global temperature was 1.52°C above the #preindustrial average, as my colleague Umair Irfan reported.
"That doesn’t mean Earth has officially blown past this important threshold — typically, scientists measure these sorts of averages over decades, not years — but it’s a sign that we’re getting close."

I have so many awesome and clever friends. Really proud of Dr. Taryn Foster, she's working at the nexus of coral research and robotics to upscale coral reef restoration projects. Check out this new 4 minute clip on the project!

CoralPod is a brilliant partnership project proving that the making of a complex artificial structure, designed for natural habitat restoration use, doesn’t always need a complicated tech heavy solution. This is handmade heterogeneity. Complex architectural reef habitat.

Scientists Find Pristine Ecosystems on High-Seas Seamounts
https://schmidtocean.org/scientists-find-pristine-ecosystems-on-high-seas-seamounts/"scientists observed 160 species on the Salas y Gómez Ridge that had not yet been known in the region and suspect that at least 50 of them are new to science. These are #squid, #fish, #corals, #mollusks, #SeaStars, glass #sponges, #SeaUrchins, crabs, and squat #lobsters, amongst others. They set a record for sighting the deepest-known #photosynthesis-dependent animal in the world: #Leptoseris, a wrinkle #coral."
