What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

A report published by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network indicates that coral reefs are facing frequent bleaching events that prevent adequate recovery time. The reefs, which sustain a quarter of all marine life, are under threat from pollution and increasingly severe mass bleaching caused by rising ocean temperatures.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The frequency of these bleaching events has nearly doubled compared to previous averages. If the current trends continue, the global coral cover is below normal levels and at risk of irreversible decline.
