It's funny he mentioned Tim Burton when talking about the Ghost Shark (Chimaera), I had just said that in another video.

@SeamemariaКүн бұрын
It's really difficult to say, as it is with predicting anything that can have so many unknown ramifications. Coral reefs play an important role in maintaining the balance of the worlds' ecosystems. We would loose an unimaginable richness, hundreds of species would probably die off. Animals on land that depend on fish for food, and animals who depend on those animals would probably also dies off, causing a cascading event of extinction. Seafood all over the world would probably be in big trouble, leading to the collapse of many industries, loss of jobs, and starvation. We already see this at a small local scale in some developing countries. There might also be big issues in terms of nutrient and oxygen/carbon dioxide cycling. But this is always the issue with these things, we still don't know everything about these habitats, so we might not even have touched the surface of the impacts that coral reefs disappearing could have. I really hope we never find out.

Can't the species move to more habitable areas that were previously too cold for them? So, the reefs in areas that are too hot now are dying, but new ones can form in places where it was previously too cold for them?
@SeamemariaКүн бұрын
This is theoretically possible. But the reefs of today took thousands of years to develop, so unfortunately even if they start moving in that direction, they won't have enough time to establish before it's too late if water temperatures continue rising as they have been.
@petraireneКүн бұрын
@@Seamemaria But haven't the water temperatures greatly fluctuated in the more deep past, just as the sea level has? Sea level was apparently dozens of meters higher before the start of the ice ages and water being bound in ice on the poles. So where there are reefs today the water was probably too deep a couple million years ago and the reefs of back then can today be found on dry land. Of course this doesn't change the dire situation for the current reefs, but the future of the earth oceans don't seem to be coral reef free to me.
@SeamemariaКүн бұрын
@@petrairene Yes, that is true, but never this fast. Normal climatic variations take thousands and thousands of years to be felt, giving organisms the time to adapt. We are seeing drastic changes in just a matter of a couple of decades, faster than ever before. That's not enough time for animals to adapt. There will probably always be some species that survive. Deep-sea coral potentially could, even though they are being threaten as well. But coral reefs as we know them are really in a limbo situation. But I hope you are right, and that there is something we have been missing all this time that allows them to survive these rising temperature. But looking at cases like Florida, it doesn't really seem to be the case.

This is spot on! Here in Cozumel CCRRP, led by German Méndez put together a few DIY shades for the coral nurseries here. The shades prove to keep some platforms cooler but for native corals around the island we do see bleaching on some coral species more than others. Seeing the reefs here every week, it's not hard to see the amount of stress on the corals and in turn the marine environment. Great video

Look up coral reproduction. Most species of coral are broadcast spawners. Larvae coral, called planulae, are free-floating and drift on the ocean currents until they eventually settle on the bottom if the conditions are favorable. Short answer. Over time, coral reefs can migrate.

If it is true that the effects of carbon emissions released today are not fealt fully for another 20 years then the focus of saving coral's cant be centralized on reducing emissions. I say this because coral's have been dying for decades and the conditions are rapidly declining, even if our species went to a zero emission status today the waters are still going to rise beyond what they are now, and likely they will rise significantly. It seems to me that governments all around the world should be constructing aquariums to foster the biodiversity found at different coral reefs to give us a chance to re-wild the oceans once humans pull their heads out of their ass. I wonder if there has been a study concerning the methane being released from the northern most latitudes and it's direct effects on the worlds oceans? I know the oceans take up the Lions share of C02 but what about methane? Thank you for the video

The effects if carbon emissions release today, will be felt almost immediately. There are actually quite some initiatives trying to save different coral species and maintaining them in aquaria. The problem is that some are very difficult to maintain in aquaria conditions.
