Shading Bonaire’s Corals: An Innovative Approach to Bleaching Mitigation
Coral bleaching is a major threat to reefs worldwide, with rising ocean temperatures causing severe damage. In Bonaire, efforts are underway to combat this issue by using shading techniques. Researchers are testing whether moving corals to deeper waters and shading them can reduce stress and improve survival rates. By monitoring the health of coral and their growth, they aim to understand how best to support coral resilience during future bleaching events.
