Almost every single coral in a coral reef nursery in the Florida Keys has died as NOAA raises its coral bleaching warning system to the highest level possible for the area.
I used to live in Florida 20 years ago. I also went scuba diving off the keys. Back then it was shear worrisome that water temps were getting in the upper 80s and there was some occasional bleaching.
It breaks my heart to see what’s happening now. It’s so much worse than it already was when I lived there.

That’s what happens when we do nothing to stop the problem. Sure the house is on fire, but everything will be fine. Twenty minutes later…. This is so much worse than it was 20 minutes ago.
