There’s hope for our world’s corals, if policy can catch up with science.

I teamed up with @TheWCS’ Stacy Jupiter to talk about how climate-resilient reefs respond to climate pressures and what the 50 Reefs+ data means for global conservation efforts.

🪸Coral reefs are not doomed.

For years, the story has been inevitable loss. New science says some reefs have a chance to survive, with policy and investment, write WCS's Stacy Jupiter and @MelissaW_Enviro of @BloombergDotOrg.

Today at #OurOcean in Mombasa, @TheWCS released new science that changes what we thought was possible for coral reef conservation. @bloombergdotorg is happy to support Our Reefs, Our Future, a campaign to safeguard the world's most climate-resilient reefs. https://t.co/A6WlMR2eI3

We can’t treat the recent hantavirus and ebola outbreaks as unforeseeable shocks while systematically constructing the conditions that make them inevitable, writes WCS’s Christian Walzer.

Prevention is possible.

For over 25 years, we have partnered with The @TiffanyAndCo Foundation to conserve the world's oceans. Through The Foundation’s new commitment to @datamermaid, led by @TheWCS, they are now helping to transform how coral reefs are monitored and protected globally.

[Tiffany & Co. @TiffanyAndCo]

Inspired by our House’s love for a better tomorrow, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation is deeply committed to protecting the ocean to provide a vibrant future for the planet.

Only a fraction of the world’s coral reefs are currently being protected. Without vibrant coral reefs, our oceans lose vital ecosystems that support critical habitats, marine biodiversity and all those who depend on ocean health. Through our commitment to MERMAID, led by the Wildlife Conservation Society, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation supports the world’s largest platform of real-time coral reef data.

Looking ahead, MERMAID AI will help transform how coral reefs are monitored and protected globally. By leveraging advanced AI technology, we will help close a critical data gap, empowering professional scientists and citizen scientists to track and safeguard coral reef health in real time.
