NOTICIA 2 :)


Corals need better protection from climate change.

The corals are often being studied by scientists because of their vital role at the bottom of marine food chain. If corals were to go extinct this would cause irreparable damage to entire marine food web, leading to decline and extinction of many marine species.
The latest comprehensive study done by scientists from Potsdam, the University of British Columbia in Canada and the Universities of Melbourne and Queensland in Australia argues that corals will find it very hard to adapt to climate change even if global warming is restricted to the increase less than two degrees Celsius.
Warmer sea temperatures will lead to more frequent and more intense coral bleaching, and if you also add increased acidity of our seas into the equation you can see why coral will find it extremely hard to survive.
