Two Decades Of Research Shows Indonesia's Coral Reefs Are Heat Tolerant But Only Up To A Point

Indonesia's vast coral reef system has demonstrated heat tolerance over two decades, but recent research confirms this resilience has strict limits that are being breached. This matters because the archipelago hosts the world's largest coral reef system, and its failure would have catastrophic global consequences for marine biodiversity. The broader implication is that current climate mitigation strategies must accelerate to prevent irreversible damage to these critical ecosystems.
