thanks interesting. I wonder which corals are the ones that withstand high temperatures

Interesting

what a shame and we are doing nothing about it

Lol i don't think you watched the video salpet

Very cool. At least they are trying to do something to save the reefs. Also curious as to what corals can stand higher temps

 

[ourcoralreef]

What is considered higher temps
If the temp gets too high even fish can't live so long

Correct, I totally agree with you. But from a scientific standpoint is it possible that fish start to be able to adapt to higher temps and over time can withstand them? Just a thought I'm not quite sure about.

i watched the video but when you have people running our country telling us that there is no global warming and we are just going along with it MEANS WE ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

Well in the video they explain how these scientists are doing something about it
so your political view does not have much to do with this post

I was thinking along the same lines but i feel until they do adapt there will many loses also we were always taught that if you keep a cold fish in warmer water it will eventually die
Im really curious about this because if there is no fish there is no reef
Its possible that the fish is moving to deeper water since deeper water is colder but the sun doesn't penetrate the deeper water, so corals may not be able to grow there
Maybe propagating low light corals may be a good idea as well

I praise those dedicated individuals that are trying to do something about it but we as a nation should be doing more, a lot more . it would take those individuals a thousand years before we see any changes to our reefs but then again if we continue on this path all the reefs will be gone in 30to40 years. think about that
