Human warming under the blue ocean many colorful coral rocks are bleached white

Jarrod Taylor dives in the waters on the Honolulu shores for 20 years, and he witnessed a seismic change in the oceans of the world, not only in Hawaii.

Coral rocks – helps protect coastal communities from storms that are important to maintain marine life and biodiversity lose their color and changed in warm-up waters to change the climate.

“It’s sad and hearts” Taylor. “It was really colorful two years ago. Now all bleached white.”

According to the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, 84% of coral rocks Now under the heat stress that can cause bleach. When the ocean warms, the algae, which gave coral, dismantled live colors as a white skeleton.

Sea scientist is guided by Greg Village Allen Coral AtlasA program that maps the world’s coral bleach for the purpose of conservation.

“There are some heat waves Where and I can swim around for a while and start sweating really in the water. Coral and other species living on the seashore are more sensitive to us, “he said.

Was both on land and sea, in 2024 The hottest year of the earthAccording to the European Center for mid-range weather forecasts.

The temperature of the average ocean surface, which hit 70 degrees, speeds up the coral deaths. It took years to kill a rock. Now it can take a few weeks – sometimes days.

The decline in coral rocks compared to Hawaii is worse Great obstacle rock and the Galapagos Islands, according to Alner. The problem is the heaviest in the Caribbean and Florida.

“These huge areas, the expansion of incredible biological diversity, simply open the tread, and it is just static, it is just empty … and the recovery is slow to zero.”

Without healthy and developing rocks, water creatures lose their habitats and lose a natural marine nest that can protect societies from storms – prevents damage to billions of dollars for the flood.

Although the situation is heavy, not all hope is lost.

There is a push to use the sunscreen that does not contain tourists Chemicals that are harmful to coralAnd solutions like the submarine nursery, allow the repair and reconstruction of corals, but will take time.

“The next gen can now be able to see the restoration of the restoration of the people I train. If we control the residual fuel,” he said.
