Still hope for coral reefs. Using 28-years of data in Seychelles, we find reefs recovering 4-5 years faster from the 2016 bleaching event, than they did after 1998. Also, a reef that had regime-shifted to macroalgae for over 15 years, is recovering to coral. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Increased resilience and a regime shift reversal through repeat mass coral bleaching

Assessing coral reefs across the inner Seychelles islands, using a 28-year dataset, we document faster coral recovery from the 2016 than the 1998 marine heatwave events. Further, a reef that had regi....

World leaders are meeting now in Colombia for #COP16 They will discuss the 30x30 goal to protect 30% of the world’s land and ocean by 2030 Progress so far has been too slow - as outlined by @profcallum.bsky.social in this article in @uk.theconversation.com #ExeteratCOP16 @uniofexeter.bsky.social

New report reveals that targets to save 30% of the ocean by 2030 aren’t being met
