Soon, the only living reefs may only be in our tanks. Very sad.

Solomon’s was hit pretty hard. Mostly everything has recovered other than soft coral

SMH, should have just installed a chiller and kept the parameters in check. Stability is key /s

Very sad to hear. I have not had a chance to scuba in my life only snorkel once in Hawaii, but it really saddens to hear coral reefs being wiped out like this. And this isn't just the corals but the other animals that depend on live coral to live.

Agricultural runoff?

Rising temperatures. Although, where seabirds roost, those areas actually see a bump in growth with increased calcification and carbonate production from the "natural" injection of organic waste.

There was another article recently that said the super urine from whale migrating is what's feeding the coral reefs. LOL.
