"These close relatives of seahorses and sea dragons often closely match the color of their surroundings and develop skin filaments that look like algae or coral."

Helping #corals survive future #heatwaves requires strong and strategic trait selection

Assisted #evolution could help corals survive future heatwaves, but careful trait choice and strong repeated selection will be needed for it to be effective.

#FoodChains in #Caribbean #coralreefs are getting shorter
#Fish on modern #coral reefs may face more competition for resources than 7,000 years ago.
Habitat loss and #overfishing push species to compete for fewer resources and repositioned some fish within ecosystem’s #foodchain. Findings suggest fish could be less able to adapt if food sources suddenly become scarce, perhaps making reefs even more vulnerable in an already changing environment.

Coral bleaching vs mortality

When the ocean get too hot, corals expel the zooxanthellae algae that lives in their tissue.

In Western Australia, the damage to coral reefs including the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo has eclipsed any previous bleaching events.

These microorganisms give corals their bright pastel colours and disease resistance.

Their absence creates the bleaching effect many Australians have become all too familiar with.

Mass coral death at Ningaloo Reef

A fresh survey of eight sites along WA's Ningaloo Reef has revealed more than 60 per cent of corals have died.

Record water temperatures caused widespread bleaching last summer.

Of the 1,600 corals counted in March [last year], only 600 were still alive come late October.

Climate category, third place: Bleached

‘An unprecedented heatwave struck the coast of Western Australia during the summer of 2024-2025. We headed out to document the worst coral bleaching event ever recorded on the Ningaloo reef. White skeletons of suffering corals swept far beyond what our eyes could see. An estimated 60-80% of our reef was bleaching before our eyes.’

Why #hurricane #flooding is about to get even more dangerous in Florida
#Florida’s #coralreefs provide protection from hurricane storm surges—and experts estimate that losing key species in those reefs could imperil thousands of lives.
The #2023 marine #heatwave caused two important #coral species—#staghorn and #elkhorn—to go “functionally extinct” in Florida’s reef, according to a new study that includes the survey data Lesneski gathered that summer.
