    What happens if a coral reef gets too hot?

    A warning for other ecosystems The Chagos reefs could potentially recover – if they are spared from more heat waves. Even a 10% recovery would make the reefs stronger for when the next bleaching occurs. But recovery of a reef is measured in decades, not years. So far, research missions that...

    What happens if a coral reef gets too hot?

    As the water temperature rose, the corals began to bleach. To the untrained eye, the scene would have looked fantastic. When the water heats up, corals become stressed and they expel the tiny algae called dinoflagellates that live in their tissue. Bleaching isn’t as simple as going from a living...

    What happens if a coral reef gets too hot?
