3.8/5 |
According to the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 60% of the world’s coral reefs have experienced heat stress severe enough to cause bleaching in the past 12 months, which is a record. This is the fourth mass coral bleaching event on record, with the previous three occurring between 1998 and 2017. Bleaching can make reefs more vulnerable to disease and harm the biodiversity they support.
