Warmer oceans and disease put coral reefs at risk
Original: Warmer oceans and increasing disease put coral reefs at risk
Researchers at the University of Georgia warn that warmer ocean temperatures are driving an increase in coral disease, putting reefs under growing threat. The findings add to concerns that climate change is weakening reef ecosystems worldwide, with stressed corals becoming more vulnerable to infections and slower to recover from bleaching events.
Why now: New research linking ocean warming to rising coral disease has drawn attention to reef health amid ongoing climate concerns.
