Crazy how you don't see news like this on any mainstream media.

It's sad and alarming that seven out of nine of the boundaries have been crossed and nothing has been done. This is a serious issue and no world leader is talking about consequences.

Geez,... extremely worrying to hear. We've known for many years just how much coral reefs have been suffering due to rising temperatures and elevated levels of CO2 being dissolved into the ocean, because of anthropogenic emissions. I remember hearing even back ten years ago, the huge percentage of healthy coral the great barrier has lost because of this, and the resulting coral bleaching. This happening to the point that today, the reef has been reduced over 50% is so tragic. And (like Jacqueline said above!), little next to nothing is being done about. We lose these vital ecosystems, and that impact will reflect throughout the whole coast/ ocean. It seems issues like these are only taken seriously when we this harm finally spreads to affect us directly, or when given enough incentives. The truth is that we have so much resources and tools to start really helping and tackling larger-scale environmental issues. We just gotta rally governments on it somehow.
