In 2024, the 4th global coral bleaching event was declared. The impacts of shallow coral reefs are well documented, but what about deeper, in the mesophotic coral ecosystems?
Here a quick questionnaire to have a better idea of everyone's contributions in the "join forces to monitor MCEs bleaching" project, aiming at gathering evidence worldwide on the bleaching/non-bleaching status of mesophotic coral ecosystems (and possibly temperate mesophotic ecosystems) during this 2023/2024 El Nino event.
