"100% coral mortality" found in coral reef restoration site off Florida as ocean temperatures soar
Almost every single coral in a coral reef nursery in the Florida Keys has died as NOAA raises its coral bleaching warning system to the highest level possible for the area.
Coral reefs play a vital role in the overall health of the planet. And off the coast of Florida, they're in jeopardy, as the relentless heat continues.
"On July 20th, CRF teams visited Sombrero Reef, a restoration site we've been working at for over a decade. What we found was unimaginable — 100% coral mortality," said Phanor Montoya-Mayoa, a restoration program manager at the foundation who has a doctorate in biology. "We have also lost almost all the corals in the Looe Key Nursery in the Lower Keys."
I'm really happy I had the chance to go snorkel in the coral reefs on my life. Sad to know they will probably be gone before I die.
Stupid woke coral is just trying to interfere with the election season! Of course it happened in Florida, wake up sheeple!
Tragic.
