Before the current bleaching event, coral communities on the GBR were recovering from the 2016/17 mortality event. Fast-growing spp. had begun to replenish bare areas, but these very species, crucial for early colonization, are, unfortunately, the most vulnerable to bleaching.

Shallow corals are not the only ones threatened by #climatechange ... During our expedition in the #Chagos Archipelago ( #IndianOcean ) in Jan-Feb 2024 we observed pale & #bleached #mesophotic #corals between 60 and 90m deep😟! If you can, please survey coral reefs #deeper

Workshop coming up to learn about image data collection at sea, exciting new AI methods, and advanced statistical analysis.

Healthy #deepsea biodiversity matters for tackling climate change-- and there are clear ways to include that ocean life in global climate policy. Read the details in this new policy brief our team is sharing at #COP28 ! dosi-project.org/wp-content/upl…

‼️ New Paper ‼️

Our new paper in Nature Communications documents bleaching of mesophotic corals at depths of 60-90m - an area of the ocean previously thought to be buffered from rises in sea surface temperature.
