A recent investigation has shed light on the devastating impact of climate change on the world’s coral reefs. The study, which analyzed data from 1998 to 2017, found that 75% of the world’s coral reefs are now experiencing high levels of bleaching, with many showing signs of severe degradation.

The report also revealed that the rate of coral reef decline is accelerating, with some regions experiencing bleaching events every year. The consequences of this decline are far-reaching, including the loss of biodiversity, erosion of coastal protection, and decline of fisheries.

The main culprit behind this disaster is rising sea surface temperatures, which have increased by 0.7°C over the past three decades. This warming water is causing coral bleaching, a condition in which the coral expels its algal partner, leaving the coral structure ghost-like white.

The report’s findings have been met with urgency from experts, who warn that immediate action is needed to mitigate the effects of climate change. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting marine sanctuaries, and supporting sustainable fishing practices. Without swift action, the world’s coral reefs may face a terminal decline, with devastating consequences for the planet.
