MOMBASA, Kenya - In the crystalline waters off Kenya’s coast, coral reefs are thriving — evidence of a rare good news story in the battle to protect oceans from the ravages of climate change.
A new study presented at the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa on Tuesday finds that 166,000 square kilometres of the world’s coral reefs — around a third of the total — are particularly “climate-resilient”, meaning they have the potential to survive through major ocean warming events.
