Summary
South Florida’s coral reefs are vanishing fast, and the consequences are dire—not just for marine life, but for our coastlines, infrastructure, and wallets. These underwater giants act as natural storm buffers, but rising ocean temperatures are killing them off at an alarming rate. What was once a thriving reef now covers less than 5% of the sea floor. The economic toll? Billions spent annually on beach nourishment. Scientists are racing to fix it: lab-grown corals, hybrid reefs, and heat-resistant strains are being tested to rebuild and fortify these vital ecosystems before it’s too late. Time is running out.
