Almost every single coral in a coral reef nursery in the Florida Keys has died as NOAA raises its coral bleaching warning system to the highest level possible for the area.
Fixing our emissions problem absolutely is the most important part, but technology for ecology restoration is ALSO very important. There are things (quite possibly the survival of many species of coral) that are already gone or past the point of no return, that are necessary to fix or replace to prevent further collapse of ecosystems. And don’t downplay the effort and work done by biologists and ecologists to save individual species, it is difficult and often underappreciated.
