Breakthrough alert! 🚨First in situ experiment using coral probiotics shows probiotic uptake by corals and no detectable off-target effects. Check this massive field effort out! nature.com/articles/s42003-0… @KAUST_News @aeon_collective @CORDAP_ @ICRI_Coral_Reef @CoralVitaReefs

#KAUST Professor of Marine Science @peixotors might just have the answer… A fascinating first talk from our esteemed faculty member at this year’s #COP28, putting forward a potential “solutions toolbox” to save corals. #CoralProbiotics #CoralRestoration #SDG14

🚨cool data alert! Here we wanted to assess enrichment and putative effects of coral probiotics to the environment. Results are great!! Stay tuned for the effects of probiotics on coral health during the 2023 bleaching event :-) Coming out soon! researchsquare.com/article/r…

Today I could see the effects of the incredibly strong bleaching event that hit the Red Sea…it was gut wrenching… Hopefully these beauty will recover and thrive again in this reef ❤️ There is hope but we need to act now! – at Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Rising temperatures are expected to cause the 3rd global mass bleaching event in less than 10 years. Help us to collect valuable information on resistant coral colonies 🪸 Please report on globalcoralbleaching.com and share it! @peixotors

This is why short-term band-aids, e.g., #coralprobiotics are urgent; to retain corals (at least some) while they exist/permanent solutions/CO2mitigation take place. What until then? We just watch? So sad 🥺 frontiersin.org/articles/10.… frontiersin.org/articles/10.… nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
My greatest worry is not how many corals will bleach, but how many will die between now and the end of the summer. That number could also be off the charts. We are bracing for a catastrophe that there is no way to stop. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Depressing
