Jordan's Red Sea corals prove resilient against climate change
The world's coral reefs are under threat, with climate change transforming vibrant underwater forests into a sea of white skeletons. But in the Red Sea, alongside Jordan's Gulf of Aqaba, scientists have observed that the reefs there have a unique resilience to the warming effects of climate change. This means that the Red Sea reefs could be the last remaining corals in the world. What could change this is plastic. Plastic accumulating is the Red Sea is suffocating its corals, but local divers are fighting to clear up the oceans and preserve their reef.
