Summary: The text discusses the impact of climate change on coral reefs, highlighting how rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification are contributing to the deterioration of these marine ecosystems. Corals are sensitive to these changes, which can lead to coral bleaching and even death. The loss of corals has broader implications for marine biodiversity and the communities that rely on reefs for their livelihoods. Additionally, the text emphasizes the importance of reducing carbon emissions and implementing conservation efforts to protect coral reefs from further degradation. It also mentions the role of technology, such as artificial reefs and genetic modification, in potentially aiding in the survival of these vital ecosystems in the face of climate change.
