Europe’s largest reef has welcomed corals bred in a zoo by the World Coral Conservatory project. Gloved divers introduced the corals to the reef at the Royal Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem on Monday, in the hope that they can one day be used to repopulate natural reefs. “This is the first project where we started to keep these corals with a known origin. As we know exactly where they’re coming from, they have the potential to be placed back into the wild," explains Nienke Klerks, a biologist at the zoo in the Netherlands. "So it is very important to keep these corals, as it’s going not very well in th...

Coral reefs around the world are experiencing global bleaching for the fourth time, top reef scientists declared on Monday, a result of warming ocean waters amid human-caused climate change. Coral reef bleaching across at least 53 countries, territories or local economies has been confirmed from February 2023 to now, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and International Coral Reef Initiative said. It happens when stressed coral expel the algae that are their food source and give them their colour. If the bleaching is severe and long-lasting, the coral can...

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is in the grip of a mass bleaching event, officials have confirmed. The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority said on Friday that they have detected widespread damage at the UNESCO World Heritage site. Aerial surveys conducted by the two authorities across two-thirds of the marine park confirmed that a widespread coral bleaching event is unfolding across the Great Barrier Reef. It is the fifth time in eight years scientists have seen extensive damage on the reef. February breaks temperature records for the ...

Miami (AFP) - Coral reefs off the Florida Keys islands are struggling to recover from last summer's record-breaking heat wave, new data showed Thursday, in another sign of the devastating impacts of human-caused climate change. The state's southern waters experienced hot tub-like conditions with temperatures in July briefly topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8C) in Manatee Bay. Coral, marine invertebrates made up of individual animals called polyps, have a symbiotic relationship with the algae that live inside their tissue and provide their primary source of food. When the water is too warm, ...

Washington (AFP) - Overfishing is driving coral reef sharks towards extinction, according to a global study out Thursday that signals far greater peril to the marine predators than previously thought. That matters to humans because the species act as managers of their marine ecosystems, maintaining delicately balanced food webs on which hundreds of millions of people rely. The research, published in the journal Science, is the result of the Global FinPrint project, which collected more than 22,000 hours of video footage from reefs across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia and the Ameri...
