🪸 Coral Reef Bleaching & Acidification (2D)

2D cellular-automaton coral reef simulation. Adjust ocean temperature and pH to see thermal bleaching and acidification-driven calcification loss in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D cellular-automaton coral reef where you control ocean temperature and pH independently: heat above 28C triggers bleaching and above 30.5C mass mortality, while lower pH slows calcification by about 15% per 0.1 pH drop, with a live growth-rate-vs-pH graph.
