Along coastlines from Australia to Kenya to Mexico, many of the world's colorful coral reefs have turned a ghostly white. Scientists say that this has amounted to the fourth global bleaching event in the last three decades.

Coral reefs suffer fourth global bleaching event

As the world tries to tackle coral reef degradation due to climate change a new study has found that Coral Larvae is more likely to settle within areas close to sounds emanating from healthy corals. Watch to know more!

Sounds from healthy reefs may boost coral regeneration: Study

Coral reefs are nature's spectacle. They are found in seas and ocean beds around the world. These collections of coral, algae, and mollusks support 25 percent of all marine life. But human activities have put their existence in danger. Bleaching, which is among the most adverse effect of human activities on coral reefs has substantially affected marine life.

Coral reefs in western Indian Ocean face extinction by 2070, study claims

Coral Reefs, also known as "the rain forests of the seas", represent the diverse underwater ecosystems. Scientists estimate that they support the existence about 25 per cent of all marine species. But worldwide, coral reefs themselves face existential threat due to rising ocean temperatures and climate change events. A UN-backed report released this week recommended that the Great Barrier Reef, world's largest coral reef system on Australian coast, must be added to the list of heritage sites that are "in danger". Vidhi Bubna, founder of Coral Warriors — India's first-ever diving grant — told WION that Indian do not get the opportunities to go underwater in order to realise the harsh reality of what's happening to the coral reefs and aquatic life that they support. Every year, Vidhi-led 'Coral Warriors' sponsors a number of young Indians to go into the oceans and come back to spearhead a specific climate change-related awareness programme for a year.

'We need to rethink our role on planet if corals cannot be saved'

Coral reefs that anchor wild marine animals are on the verge of extinction even if global warming is cupped within Paris climate goals. This is a stark reality of the climate change which has been published in the latest report, according to the study an average increase of 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels would see more than 99 of the world's coral reefs unable to recover.
