"Developing a Resilient Coral Warning System Amid Unprecedented Bleaching Crisis"

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has added three new higher warning levels to their coral reef warning system due to record-setting temperatures, indicating an "unimaginable" level of coral mortality. Coral bleaching, caused by excessive heat, is becoming more pervasive and severe, threatening marine life and human survival. Human-induced global heating is exacerbating the issue, prompting the need for immediate action to reduce pollution and protect the oceans. Organizations like Coral Gardeners are working to combat coral bleaching and restore reefs.
