Sea surface temperatures are rising, causing stress-related coral bleaching. At the same time, the ocean is absorbing more carbon dioxide, lowering the pH. This ocean acidification reduces coral growth rates, compounding the ‘drowning’ of reefs caused by sea level rise. These threats are a serious concern to those whose livelihoods depend on coral reefs. In the US alone, coral reef fisheries are worth $100 million per year. Reef tourism adds $1.2 billion to the Florida Keys economy. Coral reefs also buffer coastlines against waves and storms, preventing property damage and saving lives. Climate Change Threatens Coral Reefs Climate Change Information Products Sea Surface Temperature from NOAA Satellites Operational global charts show accumulations of thermal stress, which leads to coral bleaching. Automated e- mails alert managers when their reefs are at risk. Data are updated twice a week. Coral Disease Outbreak Risk By assessing winter and summer temperatures, we can define areas with significant likelihood of disease. Light Stress Damage Satellite insolation data pinpoint areas where high temperature and light combine to cause bleaching. Seasonal Outlooks NOAA produces forecasts of ocean temperatures, as part of predicting our nation’s weather. We use these same models to predict coral bleaching risk, giving our users up to three months’ advance warning. Ocean Acidification Optimal Low Ocean acidification is likely to have important consequences for coral communities in coming decades. Coupled satellite & coastal observing platforms are helping us assess their vulnerability. We’re extending in situ observations using satellite remote sensing to map changes in surface chemistry in response to ‘ocean acidification’. Partnerships With Our Users Our main customers are resource managers, who need data on climate threats to coral reefs. Collaboration with users helps us gauge their information needs and improve our products. The Florida Reef Resiliency Program The many partners in FRRP seek to improve the health of Florida’s reefs and enhance the economic sustainability of reef-dependent commercial enterprises. Our monitoring data allow managers and scientists to prepare for changing conditions before bleaching begins. Coral Reef Targeted Research for Management Program CRTR is a global initiative to coordinate knowledge for improved coral reef management: a GEF - World Bank - University of Queensland program. NOAA Coral Reef Watch is a member of the Remote Sensing Working Group Caribbean Bleaching Most intense thermal stress and mass coral bleaching ever observed in this region. Ongoing collaborations are analyzing results of >1000 surveys from >50 managers, researchers, and NGOs in 25 jurisdictions (US State & Territories, Caribbean nations).

The training is designed to build capacity with resource managers so they can incorporate our remote sensing tools into their management protocols.
