Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have introduced a novel approach to predict coral bleaching, potentially offering critical lead time for conservation efforts.
This predictive tool can forecast bleaching events five to six months ahead, which could be vital for protecting fragile reef ecosystems.
By providing reef managers with advance notice, this method aims to enhance the resilience of coral reefs in the face of climate change.
