Underwater Photography News

UWPG News

The Caribbean's once-vibrant coral reefs are currently facing a crisis, confronting a barrage of rapid and distressing ecosystem changes. This catastrophe is characterized by mass bleaching which is a consequence of rising water temperatures, and large-scale die-offs caused by the devastating Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). These profound ecological shifts are not merely confined to the underwater realm; they resonate ashore, impacting coastal communities that have long relied on these vibrant reefs for their economic sustenance and critical coastal protection.
