Simultaneous river runoff and upwelling caused a dramatic die-off of coral reefs off the Texas coast. "One of them alone may not have caused any trouble."

"The best-case scenario is that we have rapid and widespread reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the near term, the next 20 years. The corals in the Gulf of Mexico are hardy."

"If corals constantly are dealing with microplastics, it might not kill them, but there will be less energy for them to grow and to reproduce."

Stronger El Niño events are part of a strange climate pattern that appears unique to the Industrial Age, according to coral records spanning millennia.

New research finds that reef fish populations depend on two things: good hiding spots and a resident predator.

Researchers examined more than a million corals one-by-one for a new study on what we can do to save reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

"...we know enough of the science to act—and with the effects of climate change only increasing, we have little time to waste..."

New research offers "a nugget of hope for the resilience and survival of coral reefs."

Corals are under threat from climate change, reef destruction, bleaching, and more, but one conservation method shows particular promise.
