“Unfortunately, in 2023, an acute heating event, when water temperatures exceed the maximum monthly mean SST by 2.5 C for many weeks, led to the extinction of wild and replanted corals on the Florida Keys.”

Heat-driven functional extinction of Caribbean Acropora corals from Florida’s Coral Reef
In 2023, a record-setting marine heat wave triggered the ninth mass coral bleaching event on Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR). We examined spatial patterns of heat exposure along the ~560-kilometer length o...
