Study: 96% of Coral Reefs Face Collapse Without Urgent Action

A new study projects that 96% of global coral reefs could collapse under current warming trends, underscoring the accelerating climate threat to marine ecosystems. The finding is based on modeled scenarios and highlights the need for rapid emissions cuts, though exact timelines and regional impacts remain uncertain. This adds to mounting evidence of climate-driven ecosystem degradation, with implications for biodiversity, coastal protection, and fisheries.
