Climate change is altering familiar conditions of the world’s oceans and creating new environments that could undermine efforts to protect sea life in the world’s…
Rice biologists’ discovery can be used to help climate-challenged reefs survive for now. A little more sexy time for symbionts could help coral reefs survive…
In 2019, a hydrology professor at The University of Texas at Austin set out on a research project to see if he could identify harmful…
Researchers tease apart contributions of symbiotic bacteria and algae to corals’ heat tolerance and identify genes involved in stress response. The microbiomes of corals —…
Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse, complex, and productive ecosystems on the planet. Most of coral reef biodiversity consists of tiny organisms living…
Coral reefs around the world are under threat because of climate change, overfishing, pollution, and more. Now, researchers reporting in the journal One Earth today (September…
Scientists reaffirm 2019 climate emergency declaration and again call for transformative change based on updated trends. In 2019, a coalition of more than 11,000 scientists…
In September of 2017, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution postdoctoral scholar Maggie Johnson was conducting an experiment with a colleague in Bocas del Toro off the…
New research into the crucial partnership between coral and algae may one day help prevent coral bleaching. For the first time, scientists have seen stony…
Actions in coming decade will determine whether reefs survive, scientists say. An international group of researchers representing thousands of coral scientists across the globe is…
Florida Tech research shows climate change will suppress reef growth from north and south. Warming seas are driving many species of marine life to shift…
Genetics of coral-algal partnerships may have conservation implications. The microscopic algae that live inside and provide nutrients to their reef-building coral hosts may be evolving…
Declining Growth Rates of Global Coral Reef Ecosystems If trend of declining coral growth continues at the current rate, the world’s coral reefs may cease…
New research has shown that by injecting an alkalinizing agent into the ocean along the length of the Great Barrier Reef, it would be possible,…
FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute study shows 95 percent success rate with amoxicillin. Diseases continue to be a major threat to coral reef health. For…
Corals that withstood a severe bleaching event and were transplanted to a different reef maintained their resilient qualities, according to a new study led by…
Scientists find that Methylene Blue could be an effective alternative to sunscreens that cause coral damage. A new study published in Nature Scientific Reports has found…
