To be more precise, they are being killed.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class='wp-block-image size-large p4featured_image'><img src='https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/b487377f-reef-side-by-side-1.png' alt='Great Barrier Reef Coral Bleaching' \/><figcaption class='wp-element-caption'>A side by side comparison of a healthy portion of the Great Barrier Reef (left), compared to a bleached portion (right).

Right photo by Greenpeace \/ Roger Grace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many threats to coral reefs, but by far the biggest is global warming. Spikes in ocean temperatures cause a phenomenon called bleaching, which is often fatal. Right now, the Great Barrier Reef is experiencing the worst bleaching in its history. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/54272-great-barrier-reef-worst-coral-bleaching.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More than two-thirds<\/a> of the Great Barrier Reef\u2019s living coral is at risk of dying from this episode. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tropical coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, home to a quarter of all marine species. Reefs generate billions of dollars in tourism, as well as food for people in 100 countries. Healthy reefs also provide protection for coastal communities from storms, serving as barriers that diminish the power of waves and storm surges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Great Barrier Reef is the largest in the world, so big that it is visible from outer space. If it was a state, it would be the fifth-largest in the United States, ranking between Montana and New Mexico. The ecological, cultural, and economic impacts of this man-made disaster are incalculable. The Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage Site for good reason &#8212; but even before this bleaching disaster the reef had lost half of its living coral since being designated in 1981.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The scientist in me wants to explain how bleaching works.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corals are small colonial animals that form skeletons as they grow. Inside their tissues, corals house symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide extra food for corals in exchange for a stable home. Warm temperatures cause the corals to expel the algae. Since these algae supply corals\u2019 color, what is left looks white \u2014 \u00a0the calcareous skeleton becomes visible through the transparent tissues of the corals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then, without this vital food source, they usually die.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Which is why the ocean lover in me \u2014 the snorkeler and SCUBA diver \u2014 wants to focus on culprits and solutions.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If our reefs are being murdered, who is guilty? What can be done?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It comes back, as it so often does, to the fossil fuel industry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we burn oil, coal, and gas, it heats up the planet and the oceans, killing coral reefs. The fossil fuel industry has lobbied for years\u00a0to make sure we have limited alternatives to these choices that disturb our climate and threaten our oceans &#8212; to make sure we only have choices that protect its profits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many of us would rather have access to better public transportation so we didn\u2019t need to rely on cars? How many of us would\u00a0rather have an electric car if they were more affordable? How would you rather power your house, with wind or solar, or with a coal plant? Are you happy that we are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/arctic-still-threatened-oil-drilling-atlantic-coast-spared\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">risking our coasts with offshore drilling<\/a>, or would you rather we <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/global-warming\/keep-it-in-the-ground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep fossil fuels in the ground<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have known for a long time that relying on fossil fuels is not sustainable. The technology to shift to cleaner, greener renewables has been available for years, and is getting more efficient and affordable every day. Of course,\u00a0there are things that\u00a0we can all do to live in a way that minimizes our carbon footprint. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>However, the changes that we need are bigger and more urgent than what we can solve that way.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need leaders that will work with us to create a world where living sustainably is easier and more fulfilling than one where most of us drive from our coal or gas-powered homes to a coal or gas-powered office. We need leaders with vision, who are not in bed with the fossil fuel industry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am not willing to accept the scientists\u2019 predictions that coral reefs may be gone in my lifetime. It is getting to the point where many feel like it may be too late, but that is because they do not believe we can change. If we work together, there is still hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/secure3.convio.net\/gpeace\/site\/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=1963&amp;s_src=gpblog&amp;s_subsrc=160404_bleaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To save the coral reefs, we need to stop burning coal, oil and gas for energy.
