Coral reefs are currently undergoing bleaching and disappearing. A study shows that coral reefs are facing "mass extinction" as ocean currents change, causing widespread bleaching.Researchers at the Global Coral Reef Alliance have published a new study in the Oxford Open Climate Change journal, revealing the severe bleaching of some of the world's largest coral reefs in 2023. The study indicates that climate change is altering ocean currents, making the impacts more severe, helping scientists better understand bleaching events and the best ways to prevent them.Thomas Goreau, the lead author of the paper and director of the Global Coral Reef Alliance, shared in a statement: "Coral reefs, the most vulnerable ecosystems, have been experiencing bleaching and dying due to high temperatures since the 1980s."
