This Coral Bleaching event is thankfully on the way out but it won't be the last, and it's a worry.

I’ve always wondered if the mass bleaching is localized? Are there protected reefs that are still going strong or is it an ocean water quality issue? I’m in the United States but I love having conversations regarding this topic. I’d love to have a talk one day where I could ask you many questions about what’s really going on in the Great Barrier Reef. I love my acroporas and I would give them up if it meant saving the reefs

It's unfortunately a global threat, even reefs that are basically never touched by humans have experienced huge bleaching and die offs. Temperature is the biggest issue, other water quality problems have an effect but it is minimal compared to the effect of bleaching from temperature.-

Thanks for the video. You were not rambling. Just trying to verbalize something important to you. It is heartbreaking. I love the hobby and care about the animals that make up so much of the beauty of our planet and that drive significant commerce. I hate seeing anything dying on mass scale. I have been reading a lot more about organizations trying to help save reefs and aquaculture more and more of the reef species. Even learning to control coral spawning as a way to really drive aquaculture. Hoping as you do that all works out. Thanks for the conversation starter.

We are all passionate about something... We happen to be passionate about reefing and their Ecology. Aquaculture is certainly the future and our best chance at replanting reefs. We all need to make better decisions as a whole. No matter your political or religious beliefs are I think we can al agree that Reefs are essential for our oceans and for Billions of peoples livelihoods. I hope that Mother Nature fights back harder than we can push her! Happy Reefing.

yeah, south east asia (where majority of the wild livestock is coming from) is experiencing an insane heatwave right now, temp can reach to 50 degrees and there's the territorial dispute that damages the coral reefs, I mean dumping sand on coral reefs to make artificial islands really?

Hobbyist of 15 years. They should stop talking everything from the ocean no coral no fish. People can aquaculture well enough to substain the hobby. Wild coral does nothing to stop company's like World Wide corals and Top Shelf Aquatics from ripping people off with crazy prices

Can I ask why you don't believe in climate change? My business is currently suffering because of it, does it really effect you negatively to believe in it?

@@TidepoolAquatics Don't take offence to the joke man, i apologies for the insincerity. Id hoped to make you laugh so im genuinely sorry for making a dick comment if you took it that way. I believe in things i know for a fact, it affects me negatively to believe and support non scientifical zealotry because in the same sense the political outcome of this 'believe the experts" rubbish affects other peoples businesses, such as the major affect Cvid had on small businesses worldwide. It affects business both ways. Its not 'fact' it is currently at best a political agenda that requires 'faith' and a lot of it. Thats not science by definition. Furthermore, Australia leads the world in Weather Manipulation and cloud seeding, which IS a definitive fact and is scientifically provable, (check CSIRO) substantiated by the Aus Gov. The BS of the topic will never die down and i dont intend on being a faith driven believer like what was forced on my family while living under the U.S.S.R where science was again, dictated my the Gov and any research proving otherwise was destroyed and people killed or jailed. This is no different. Do you believe Soviet Science? - So yeah faith based science does affect me negatively. The level of distress i see in peoples eyes who are these type of believers are of the caliber of people who said the sky is falling or Jesus is going to return and save us all. The sky isnt falling. If anything the exact people who claim it is are profiting endlessly from it, thats what i believe. I also believe that people pushing this climate change agenda are completely ignorant of the worlds political theatre and choose to bury their head in the sand claiming that definitive points are not true and attribute falsehoods such as to attribute the term conspiracy theory. Can I ask what your opinion is on weather modification and the affect of cloud seeding has on our oceans? I worked for a subsidiary of the AuGov and would not trust or believe a SINGLE word or data point they produce from a decade of personal experience. I will try and use your store for my next purchases to help out. Chin up mate and thanks for what you do

@@im160bpmplus I'm not usually one for engaging in online debates and this video isn't really the forum for it, but you got me mate. Anyone who doesn't believe in climate change at this point despite the irrefutable evidence is simply delusional. As a scientist working in this area, you don't understand the damage you do by spreading the garbage that you do, despite what I'm sure you believe are good intentions. Usually it's a personality trait that makes people support outlandish theories so you probably always will, and unlikely that anything anyone ever tells you will change your mind because of the self propagating nature of what you're suffering from, but all I can do is encourage you to guide your life with science and fact rather than radical, unsubstantiated nonsense. The word doesn't need it.
