Plastic is also a major driver of climate change. The entire life cycle, from extraction, refining, and manufacturing to recycling or disposal, emits over 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases annually. #WetTribe #FridayFieldUpdate #FridaysforFuture #ClimateChange

Emerging environmental harm and risks from the War in Iran: Pollution incidents are placing people and ecosystems at risk of acute and long-term harm, and lead to substantial environmental damage as the war continues. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #IranWar #Ecocide

Ocean acidification negatively affects shell-building organisms, including coral, by dissolving their shells and exoskeletons, slowing their growth, and impairing development. #FridayFieldUpdate

Seawater quality (or lack of) testing. #FridayFieldUpdate

The average surface ocean pH has dropped from 8.11 in 1985 to around 8.05. While this might not sound like much, the pH scale is logarithmic, so this represents a 15% increase in acidity. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #CoralBleaching #Acidification

The 2025 coral bleaching event, the fourth and “largest on record”, has impacted 84% of the world's reefs, also putting U.S. reefs at risk. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #CoralBleaching #Acidification

The most recent US coral condition status is "fair but declining health”, with climate change, coral bleaching, and ocean acidification as the primary threats. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Coral #CoralBleaching #Acidification

A new study reveals that even under conservative climate scenarios, nearshore waters will undergo more drastic changes than reefs have experienced in thousands of years. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Hawaii #Coral #OceanAcidification

Hawaiian coral reefs may face unprecedented ocean acidification within the next 30 years, driven by rising carbon emissions. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Hawaii #Coral #OceanAcidification

60% of countries do not include ‘marine forest restoration and conservation’ in their climate commitments, and tragically, the US government is now abandoning its prior climate commitments. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #ClimateChange

29% of global seagrass extent, 85% of oyster reefs, and half of the world's coral reefs have been lost since the 1950s, with a decadal loss in coral coverage of 4.7% to 6.8%. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #BlueCarbon #HabitatLoss

Marine forests like mangroves and seagrass plains absorb up to 5 times more carbon than terrestrial forests, and also lower ocean acidification in adjacent waters. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CarbonSequestration 🔬🌊 🌿🌱🌳🪸 🌡️

Microplastics are widely found in coastal sediments globally, with studies from 209 turtle nesting beaches across 39 countries finding microplastics (1–5 mm) on 45% of the sampled beaches. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Microplastics

Increasing ocean acidification is making it more difficult for organisms like corals, oysters, and other shellfish to build and maintain their shells and skeletons. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #pH #OceanAcidification #Coral #Oysters #Shellfish

As pH is logarithmic, this decline represents about a 15% increase in ocean acidity. Ocean acidification is occurring at a faster rate than at any time in the past 300 million years. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #pH #OceanAcidification #Coral #Oysters #Shellfish

Our field update picks up where we left off on Thursday, highlighting the pH in Thalassophile. The average pH of the ocean dropped from 8.11 in 1985 to 8.05 in 2022. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #pH #OceanAcidification #Coral #Oysters #Shellfish

Recent Study Results: -Over 50% of sea turtles have eaten plastic -Sea turtles ingest plastic, often mistaking plastic bags for jellyfish -Plastic bags can block the gut, causing starvation -1 piece of plastic can be deadly -Juveniles are at 4x higher risk #FridayFieldUpdate

A humpback whale was successfully freed from a life-threatening entanglement of rope, gear, and buoys by a trained team on Tuesday in waters off Keahole Point. Unfortunately, it was not Palette (BCY1404). The search continues. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #Hawaii

Focused on our gene bank in this #FridayFieldUpdate! Our restoration team is busy restocking the Acropora section at our Tavernier Nursery. Breaking down colonies from the production area of the nursery into 6 smaller pieces to grow multiple independent colonies of each genotype.

Humpback whales are identified by the unique black-and-white pigmentation patterns, scars, and serrated edges on the underside of their tail flukes, which functions as a distinct identifier. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #HumpbackWhales

It's #FridayFieldUpdate! Adverse weather conditions have mostly kept us off the water this week, but that hasn't stopped us from making waves on land! Currently, we're immersed into refining the design of our Coral Trees and building more of them to add to our nurseries!

This week's #FridayFieldUpdate is all about our in-water nurseries! Maintaining optimal conditions for our corals in the nurseries is a perpetual endeavor which is why this week focused on tree maintenance and disease removal.

Plastic fuels climate change throughout its lifecycle, with global carbon emissions projected at 20% by 2050. 99% of plastic is from fossil fuels; its production, refining, incineration, and degradation release greenhouse gases. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate

A small-scale research trial has revealed promising provisional results from an experiment of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) in an open marine environment. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #FridaysforFuture #ClimateChange #OceanAcidification

This week in our #FridayFieldUpdate, our teams have been keeping up with maintenance and inventory in our in-situ nurseries. This involves cleaning our trees, removing any competitors that may be present as well as taking stock of all the coral.

Summertime is officially here #FridayFieldUpdate Low winds led to some gorgeous days of reef restoration this week! Our restoration teams visited 3 reef sites, Carysfort, Eastern Dry Rocks, and Looe Key, and returned 820 corals to the wild! #generationrestoration

Studies found hundreds of different pharmaceuticals in wastewater, while pine bark can remove 94—99% of these pharmaceutical residues and support a circular-economy approach to wastewater management. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate

In this #FridayFieldUpdate our Education Team engaged over 150 students from ages 5 to 12 at the CRF™ Slime Olympics, part of Zoo Miami's Zoo Camp series. Every last Sunday of the month, catch the CRF™ Coral Crew at Zoo Miami's Conservation Action Center!

Our 2025 citizen science studies of ocean-related issues consistently reported increases in participant engagement, data quality, program opportunities, and the need for additional funding. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CitizenScience

It's Hurricane Season! #FridayFieldUpdate The picture shows corals "skirting" at the base. During a hurricane the branches may break off but the "skirt" will remain and regrow! This is the goal and its why our team put 900+ corals onto Carysfort Reef this week!

it's #FridayFieldUpdate! Last week was a success! The CRF team safely returned more than 300 rescued corals back to the ocean. CRF has been hard at work maintaining the nursery to ensure a safe home for the corals to return to. Stay tuned for the rest of the coral transfer!

Many hands make light work #FridayFieldUpdate This week our volunteers were a major asset. Divers visited 4 different reef sites this week; Alligator, Pickles, Carysfort, and Eastern Dry Rocks returning over 2,700 elkhorn and staghorn corals across all 4 locations! 📣

This #FridayFieldupdate is one of hope! We've observed remarkable resilience in the Upper Keys, and, many of our corals at the Tav and Carysfort Nurseries are still holding strong. With ongoing care, there is a good chance that many of our corals may survive this extreme heat.

Plastic is also a major driver of climate change. The entire life cycle, from extraction, refining, and manufacturing to recycling or disposal, emits over 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases annually. #WetTribe #FridayFieldUpdate #FridaysforFuture #ClimateChange

#FridayFieldUpdate After the 2023 bleaching event, CRF's Carysfort Reef hosts the most numerous population of living acroporids in the Keys! And in the lower Keys, we rescued 8 "corals of opportunity" across 5 different species, increasing the diversity of our Key West Nursery
