@CoralReefWatch is keeping their eye on the western Pacific, where heat stress is still building. Check out the latest information from their virtual station on Guam. https://t.co/k5nyOGS9Z5

The mass bleaching of coral reefs around the world is now the most extensive on record. A staggering 77% of the world’s corals have been affected, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration https://t.co/gTjzB2nwka

About 94% of the ocean surface experienced at least 1 marine heatwave in 2023 (defined as sea-surface temperatures in the warmest 10% of all recorded data in a particular location on that day for at least 5 days). #StateoftheClimate2023 More highlights: https://t.co/91UPpAQePF

If you’re a regular reader of our ENSO blog, then you know that scientists have been carefully observing how the Pacific is changing from El Niño to La Niña conditions by late summer. But as it happens, something similar might be cooking in the Atlantic. https://t.co/gWSBKWPb2V

July 2024 was not only record-warm globally but also marked the 14th consecutive month of record global heat, which in of itself is a new record. Read more about July's monthly climate summary: https://t.co/u9ZxmIjfKP

@NOAASoutheastFisheryScienceCenter and Sustainable Oceans and Reefs are using bioballs at Conch Reef and Elbow Reef to collect sea urchin larvae to help @Mission: IconicReefs understand how to introduce these coral stewards back onto the reef.

Our National Coral Reef Monitoring Program folks are hard at work #ForCorals! #NCRMP
.@NOAA scientists have embarked on a monitoring cruise in @FGBNMS to collect data on general reef conditions for reef fishes, corals & benthic habitat. Water samples to support climate change research will be collected at a subset of the sample sites. https://t.co/8VKe9jJdfU

A new study suggests a series of Gulf of Mexico reefs are more resilient to warmer oceans as they are exposed to a wider range of temperatures brought on by a physical movement of seawater called “eddies.” https://t.co/30ys0ajCj1

The global climate summary for June is out and June 2024 was the warmest June on record for the globe in NOAA's 175-year record. It was also the 13th month in a row of record-hot temperatures, tying the previous record. More: https://t.co/fk4JoFlwIU

The summer is hot, and so are water temperatures 🌡️ Florida is hanging in there, but be aware of increasing temperatures elsewhere in the Caribbean. Please send your observations of the presence AND absence of coral bleaching to @CoralReefWatch ! https://t.co/cNTkriO7kP

Good news and some potential relief for corals in Florida! Tropical Storm Alberto has pushed sea surface temperatures down to a Bleaching Watch. @CoralReefWatch #CoralReefs #SST

We collaborated with international partners during a week-long workshop on ReefCloud, an online, user-friendly platform developed by @aims_gov_au that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with monitoring coral reefs. #TheMoreYouKnow #ReefCloud

El Niño is officially OVER according to @NWSCPC and we are in neutral conditions while we wait for La Niña to develop. In this week's ENSO Blog our experts discuss if a strong El Niño portends a strong La Niña... Read all the details: https://t.co/zCSo22ZZQG

Using data from @NOAA's JPSS satellites, a map by @CoralReefWatch indicates significant bleaching at Alert Levels 1 to 3 over the Indian Ocean as of June 9, 2024. This critical insight helps monitor marine health. #NationalOceanMonth

Check out this podcast with @CoralReefWatch 's director, Derek Manzello, on the latest global bleaching event - and why we need to work together #ForCoral!
There is still time to save coral reefs, but it’s going to take all of us and we must take action now, according to @NOAA Coral Reef Watch Marine Biologist Dr Derek Manzello. Learn more at Word on the Reef Podcast on Spotify ( https://t.co/vSxtUz5T4o) and all podcast platforms.

Our oceans are warming around the world, and we are beginning to adapt to and prepare for this change in our climate. Extreme warm ocean temperatures can have profound effects on marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and economic activities. Read more: https://t.co/9jt21hfaGd
