A new, large coral reef containing important species and fossil traces was discovered in the Mediterranean
Using a remotely operated submarine, scientists made a significant and rare discovery in the Gulf of Naples: a vast, white coral reef that contains important species and fossil species.
Discovered at a depth of 500 meters, it was “exceptional” for the region, with never-before observed “bioconstructions of this kind, and of such magnitude,” which are also rarely seen elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
The discovery will help scientists learn more about the role of deep coral habitats, both for conservation and restoration efforts regionally and globally.
Why is this good news?This encouraging news comes alongside the news that scientists believe the planet has reached its first catastrophic climate tipping point: widespread coral die-offs. Coral reefs hold some of the planet’s most robust marine ecosystems, sustaining millions of species of marine life.
The more we can learn about and protect the ones that are still alive and thriving, the better.
After his brother died on Halloween, a haunted house owner almost quit — now he’s ‘scaring with a care’
Growing up in Hillview, Kentucky, Cole, Cam, and Cayden Bullock all shared a love for the holidays. Inherited from their grandmother, Cam continued the tradition of decorating their home with massive displays that drew bigger crowds every year.
When Cole was unexpectedly killed in a homicide last year on October 31, Cam was reluctant to continue the festivities. That was until the city reached out to collaborate on a community event that would benefit the USPS’s Operation Santa program.
Cole agreed and concocted Scareview Haunt: a volunteer-run haunted house that’s earned a reputation so terrifying that it’s drawn thousands of horror fans across the state.
Often, the good news we find and share comes alongside some heartbreaking news — because that’s where we need to see hope and progress the most. That was the case with today’s story about coral reefs.
