As global temperatures continue to rise, our ocean is feeling the heat. Marine heatwaves pose a significant threat to coral reefs, coastal communities, and our collective future.
Coral reefs aren't just beautiful ecosystems; they support the livelihoods of over 850 million people worldwide. Yet, as the ocean warms, corals expel the algae that sustain them, resulting in devastating bleaching events. The loss of these vital ecosystems not only impacts marine life but also millions who rely on them for food, income, and coastal protection.
But there's hope on the horizon. Through concerted efforts to cut fossil fuels and protect resilient reefs, we can #SaveOurOceans. Partnerships like the Coral Reef Rescue Initiative are working tirelessly to safeguard and restore these critical ecosystems, ensuring a sustainable future for both people and planet.
