Rosemary Nissen-Wade #8: Coral Loss

Coral Loss

More than one-third of coral reefs 

died in the huge bleaching.

We were all caught by surprise.

The previous monster 

lifted background temperatures.

We were all caught by surprise.

Warm seas. Corals expel

tiny photosynthetic algae,

turn white and die.

We were all 
caught by surprise.

Future El Ninos push beyond 
thresholds – including 

the Great Barrier Reef 

and Kakadu.

Banks consider climate.

We were all caught
by surprise.
