Scientists gather in Key Biscayne to save coral reefs amid rising ocean temperatures

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 19:41:52 GMT

As ocean temperatures rise due to severe heat waves, a serious risk is affecting coral reefs. On Tuesday, a group of scientists from the University of Miami (UM) is hoping to tackle the situation as they gathered in Key Biscayne. Coral reefs, a vital part of our ocean’s ecosystem, are suffering in this heat just as much, if not more than humans are. The heat is causing the coral reefs to be bleached which means they are under more stress and are subject to mortality. Even in some of the most resilient reefs, temperature readings have gone up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. “We had a huge effort over the last couple of decades here in Florida and elsewhere around the world to create coral nurseries and to establish protocols for out planting to restore the reefs,” said Dr. Cynthia Lewis, director of the Florida Keys Marine Laboratory. UM’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science plans on rescuing the coral to further help them at their facility off Vi...
