The most MIS-USED stat ever! The reef is more UNHEALTHY than ever! 😡
After bleaching, certain species of corals grow back faster (usually Acropora spp.), whilst other species completely die off after repeated events.
The same way forest ecosystems become more homogeneous after constant fire - some species of grasses and trees can tolerate it and smother the forest. With coral reefs, SO many coral species are disappearing and heaps of fish/invertebrates that rely on those species are also disappearing.
It is SO frustrating how climate-change deniers think these ecosystems are so basic, AHHHHH! 😤

Hawaiian bobtail squids give off a remarkable glow!🦑
These squids are bioluminescent, meaning they can produce and emit light — a special feature thanks to a bioluminescent bacterium that they play host to.
