The world is currently experiencing its fourth global coral bleaching event, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists and the network of global coral reef scientists aligned to the International Coral Reef Initiative .Bleaching-level heat stress, caused by prolonged increases in anomalous ocean temperatures, as remotely monitored and predicted by NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch , has – and continues to be – extensive across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
Reports also account for widespread bleaching across parts of the south Atlantic, along the northeast coasts of Brazil. “Climate model predictions for coral reefs have been suggesting, for years, that bleaching impacts would increase in frequency and magnitude as the oceans warm,” says Jennifer Koss, director of NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program .
Koss says: “We are on the frontlines of coral reef research, management, and restoration, and are actively and aggressively implementing the recommendations of the 2019 Interventions Report.” * Avoidance reefs are located in rare underwater ‘cool spots’ and have been able to mostly avoid the impacts of warm water events.
