Over the years, coral bleaching, a result of warmer conditions, has put coral reefs across the globe at risk of extinction. Across California, laboratories and hobbyists alike find ways to study coral...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 30 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00147-zOngoing and projected climate changes are bringing increased marine heatwave frequency and intensity, threatening the health and survival of coral reefs. This Roadmap outlines the potential for assisted evolution methods to increase thermal tolerance in corals and describes ways to accelerate research and development for enhancing coral adaptation rates.

This work explored the effects of an unprecedented marine heatwave on the reef-building coral Siderastrea siderea across four sites (Cristobal Island, Hospital Point, Punta Donato, and STRI Point) on...

Elkhorn and staghorn coral are now functionally extinct around the state, researchers say, meaning they no longer play any significant role in their ecosystem.

A record 2023 heat wave all but eradicated two species of coral that historically served as the backbone of Florida's reefs, researchers said in a new report.

In 2023, a record-setting marine heat wave triggered the ninth mass coral bleaching event on Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR). We examined spatial patterns of heat exposure along the ~560-kilometer length o...
