‘Incredible’: bleached corals thrive within days when touching healthy neighbour
A coral fragment can form a tissue bridge with a dying counterpart — and provide it with crucial microalgae.

Forty years working on marine ecosystems assessment taught me one lesson: Measuring pressures is easier and faster than measuring ecological recovery See some examples of time recovery in this paper we published some time ago dx.doi.org/10.1007/s122... and in this graph #MarineEcology #Research

ZJ… ”But it seems to be a problem that society tends to downplay. For example, the combined problems of rising sea levels and extreme events, which are eroding the Mediterranean coast – and yet some people insist on rebuilding in places that will undoubtedly disappear.” - @drangelborja.bsky.social

World’s oceans absorbed record heat equal to 40 times annual global energy use

Are these killer whales out for revenge on humans—or just trying to play?
Iberian orcas have been ramming boats off the coast of Portugal and Spain. But what looks like vengeance may have a more benign explanation
