But it’s not too late to intervene.
around the world could come as early as 2100 without meaningful and dramatic intervention. The problem is twofold, with rising ocean temperatures and increasing acidity each contributing to an inhospitable place for corals to live.
At the recent Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020 of the American Geophysical Union, Renee Setter of the University of Hawaii presented a new paper detailing the findings. Setter is a biogeographer, and the research she unveiled came from a complex simulation of ocean conditions over time.“This study examines site selection in future climate scenarios for the successful establishment of coral transplants in tropical regions as well as globally.
That sounds grim, but these researchers say they’re arguing for better practices and priorities with restoration sites“It is imperative to include suitability analysis in the design of future projects to enhance the potential for successful restoration and maximize efficiency by focusing resources on promising sites,” they write.

Great Barrier Reef Offers Scuba Divers Chance To See Beautiful Diversity Of Ocean DeathCAIRNS, AUSTRALIA—Adapting to the climatic changes that have irrevocably altered the world’s largest once-living thing, tour guides on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef are now offering divers a chance to see the breathtaking diversity of ocean death. “Whether you want to see thousands of colorful crabs that died as a result of increasing ocean acidification or check out the abandoned, algae-covered remnants of what used to be a thriving parrotfish colony, the Great Barrier Reef presents visitors with a unique opportunity to take in a whole spectrum of dead and dying marine life,” said Charlie Mande of Great Barrier Reef Dive Expeditions, a company offering divers a close-up look at dead organisms from clouds of lifeless starfish no bigger than dimes all the way up to full-on whale shark carcasses. “The Great Barrier Reef is actually the world’s largest coral reef system, and since it’s all completely dead now, we have the unique opportunity to see mile after mile of bleached, stark-white coral hosting the remains of an entire ecosystem—dead mollusks, decaying worms, husks of sponges, all drifting across the barren ocean floor thanks to rising sea temperatures and high concentrations of nitrates. You might also catch a glimpse of a turtle slowly suffocating to death after accidentally ingesting a plastic bag.” Mande added that within the next five to 10 years, the massive die-off of oceanic food sources would allow Great Barrier Reef Dive Expeditions to offer the sight of huge rafts of dead humans.
