Assessment of antibiotic resistance genes in Caribbean corals, including those treated with amoxicillin - Coral Reefs The decimation of reefs from stony coral tissue loss disease prompted the use of a topical amoxicillin treatment to prevent coral mortality. Application of this treatment led to concerns about uninten...

We watched these coral colonies succumb to black band disease. 6 months later, 75% were dead This is especially worrying because these massive corals are normally quite resilient to heat stress. Even the strong are now struggling to survive.

Coral bleaching is when corals expel colorful, life-sustaining algae (zooxanthellae) due to stress, usually from warming ocean temperatures, turning them white and vulnerable to starvation and disease, though they can recover if conditions improve. #CoralBleaching #CoralDisease

Ocean heatwaves are breaking Earth’s hidden climate engine Marine heatwaves can jam the ocean’s natural carbon conveyor belt, preventing carbon from reaching the deep sea. Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton…
