flag Climate change is accelerating Atlantic coral reef decline, risking coastal protection if warming exceeds 2°C.

flag Climate change is speeding up the decline of Atlantic coral reefs, threatening coastal ecosystems and communities. flag A study analyzing fossil reefs and data from over 400 modern sites found that rising temperatures reduce reef growth, especially when key reef-building corals are lost to bleaching and disease. flag If global warming exceeds 2°C, sea levels could rise by about 0.7 meters by 2100, outpacing reef growth and risking a collapse of these vital habitats. flag The research underscores that limiting temperature increases is essential to protect coastlines and maintain reef resilience.
