"This latest report that’s, you know, compiled from around the globe and showing that 84% of the coral reefs have been affected by this bleaching event is just unparalleled, you know? Each mass bleaching event has gotten worse and I think it will continue to do so."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Melanie McField, co-chair of the Caribbean Steering Committee for the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network:
"We’ve just reached 1.5 degrees (Celsius) in the ocean and you see the repercussions in this 2023-2024 bleaching event and it’s unprecedented. And that’s what 1.5… if that’s what 1.5 looks like, you know, and we’re not even gonna make 2 degrees (Celsius) at the current trajectories. It’s very alarming, so I think people really need to recognize what they’re doing, you know, by the inaction. It’s the kiss of death for coral reefs."

"We’re seeing forecasts that temperatures are going to continue to stay high. There’s no reason that they will be dropping down. So there’s no indication that cooling will be going on. And so with all of that we’re looking at just continuing this heat stress out. That heat stress is what causes corals to bleach and if it continues long enough or is severe enough, causes corals to die."
