    Activists taking preventative measures as brutal summer heat threatens South Florida’s coral reefs

    NOAA warns that rising ocean temperatures in South Florida are causing coral bleaching, with Cheeca Rocks experiencing early signs of stress this July. The Florida Reef Tract, already recovering from a 2023 mass bleaching event, faces another crisis as heat indices and water temperatures climb. Over 90% of healthy coral cover has been lost in the region due to climate change and other factors.
