Fourth Global Coral Bleaching Event Confirmed by U.S. Scientists | NOAA
The world is currently experiencing a global coral bleaching event, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists. This is the fourth global event on record and the second in the last 10 years.
Bleaching-level heat stress, as remotely monitored and predicted by NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch (CRW), has been—and continues to be—extensive across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean basins. CRW's heat-stress monitoring is based on sea surface temperature data, spanning 1985 to the present, from a blend of NOAA and partner satellites.
