More than 80% of the world’s coral reefs are under the threat of loss

The crisis is caused by people’s activities and the world’s rapid heat.

Scientists have warned that more than 84% of world reefs have embraced the largest sculpting of corals in history, Sciencealert reports.

Bleaching corals occurs under the influence of excess heat – as a result, corals lose algae, giving them bright colors, food and nutrition. Without them, the corals become white, weak in pain and can die.

The bleach that began in early 2023 affects corals in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, reports the US National Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. During this time, ocean temperature reaches the maximum maximum due to leaks of greenhouse gases holding the environment as a result of burning fossil fuel.

According to the United States National Directorate of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, conditions in some regions have become so overwhelming that they can lead to deaths of corals of many types or complete reefs.

According to the International Initiative to protect coral reefs, living coral coating has been reduced since the 1950s. Scientists have predicted that with rising temperatures by 1.5 ° C, from 70 to 90% coral reef will disappear, and almost everything at 2 ° C. The planet is heated by 1.36 ° C compared to the pre -industrial level, and the threshold of 1.5 ° C may exceed the next decade.

We will remind you, earlier it was reported that the temperature of the beats records of the ocean were increased.
