When ocean temperatures rise, corals can lose their vibrant color—and their lifeline. This is coral bleaching, a clear signal that our reefs are in danger. Coral reefs aren’t just beautiful; they support 25% of all marine life, protect coastlines, and provide for millions of people worldwide. ?? Our reefs need us now more than ever. Check out go.coral.org to learn more about how to protect our reefs and spread the word! ???? #blackinmarinescience #marinescienceislit #marinescience #coralreefs
