An innovative, multi-stakeholder reef restoration project that uses loose coral fragments to build new stable areas of live coral reef habitat kicks off this week at Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

The Living Coral Biobank, the world’s first dedicated coral conservation facility, will be located at the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef in Port Douglas, North Queensland, Australia...The primary goal of the facility is to keep alive and nurture over 800 species of the world’s hard corals.

The coral reefs in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans were given a "fair" score on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's first ever status report detailing the conditions of US reefs.

In the past two decades, abnormal heatwaves caused entire sections of reef off the coast of Australia – measuring several kilometers in length – to turn white. Scientists have already found that some reefs are better equipped to cope with recurring heat stress than others.

Our planet's coral reef ecosystems are in peril from multiple threats. Anthropogenic CO2 has sparked a rise in global average sea surface temperatures, pushing reef survival beyond its upper thermal limits.

Coral reefs are vibrant communities that host a quarter of all species in the ocean and are indirectly crucial to the survival of the rest. But they are slowly dying—some estimates say 30 to 50 percent of reefs have been lost—due to climate change.

University of Hawaii researchers, using geological data, concluded the Marshall Islands could be lost to sea level rise as early as 2080.

Magistrate Seini Puamau has deferred her ruling on evidentiary hearing in the matter involving Freesoul Real Estate Development (Fiji) PTE Ltd...Freesoul is charged with two separate counts of undertaking unauthorised developments and one count of failure to comply with a prohibition notice under

Nearly 75% of the world's coral reefs are under threat from global stressors such as climate change and local stressors such as overfishing and coastal development.
