2023 saw global coral reef bleaching due to climate change-induced ocean circulation shifts, threatening their survival.
A study in the journal Oxford Open Climate Change suggests that large-scale changes in ocean circulation due to climate change may lead to the end of coral reefs. The researchers found that several major coral reefs globally suffered extreme bleaching in 2023, indicating shifting patterns in ocean circulation caused by climate change. The study warns that most coral around the world has been killed and survivors cannot withstand further warming.
