Study Notes
- The reef is disappearing and is in danger of completely disappearing in the coming decades due to climate change.
- The freight train of ocean warming is barreling towards us and this is causing the reef to disappear.
- There is a risk that if we do nothing, the reef will completely disappear, while there is also a risk that if we intervene, we may create an uber-species that outcompetes all of the other species.
- We are considering proposals to test new corals on the reef in order to preserve the structure of the reef.
- There is not a moment to lose, as the reef is in danger of disappearing completely within the next few decades.
Learn about the threats of climate change to coral reefs and the potential interventions to preserve them. Explore the risks of inaction and the implications of testing new corals on the reef. Understand the urgent need for conservation efforts to prevent the complete disappearance of the reef.
