🪸 Living Coral Reef: Heat Stress, Bleaching and Recovery over 50 Years

Dive a living 3D coral reef and scrub 50 years of ocean warming: degree heating weeks, bleaching, algae overgrowth, grazing fish, recovery in cool years, light absorption with depth and a carbonate budget.

Dive a living 3D coral reef while 50 years of ocean warming play out: degree heating weeks trigger bleaching, grazing fish decide between algae and recovery, light fades with depth by Beer-Lambert absorption, and a carbonate budget shows whether the reef builds or erodes.
