Over 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases has gone into our oceans. And as of April this year, the world’s average ocean temperature has been the highest ever recorded.
A study was conducted in 391 coral reefs across 67 nations, to study population of 5 key species — Caribbean reef shark, nurse shark, grey reef shark, blacktip reef shark and whitetip reef shark.
Estimates indicate that coral reefs account for $2.7 trillion per year in ecosystem service value. And yet, we have lost 50 per cent of the world’s reefs.
Corals found in the Kutch are more temperature-tolerant, and can, therefore, improve resilience in the reefs in Lakshadweep and help sustain marine ecosystems.
The research, published in Nature Communications, says playing sounds of healthy reefs lure fish — which are extremely important for coral reefs to function — back to dead reefs.
