Yet, their survival is under threat like never before. Scientists and environmentalists warn of a "tipping point"—a threshold beyond which the degradation of coral reefs could become irreversible. But what does this really mean, and how close are we to this limit? #Coralreefs #Tippingpoint #Climatechange #Oceanacidification #Coralbleaching #Globalwarming #Marineecosystems #Biodiversityloss #Coralrestoration #Sustainablefishing #CO2emissions #GreatBarrierReef #Environmentalcrisis #Coralresilience

Delve into the phenomenon of coral bleaching, uncovering its causes, the devastating effects on marine ecosystems, and the ongoing conservation efforts aimed at preserving these vital underwater habitats. Learn about the urgent need to protect coral reefs and the global initiatives working towards their sustainability.

In recent years, we've seen coral bleaching events all around the world as a result of this warmer ocean. It's up to all of us to work together to reduce our fossil fuel usage so that we can protect corals and other ocean inhabitants. Together, we can support alternative energy initiatives like solar solutions that will help protect our coral reefs.

Grass root with natural lac dye 🧡   A few years ago I came across some willow root growing underwater in a river in the UK and it got me thinking about the binding properties of root: What if we could grow our clothes from seed?   As an underwater photographer (my real job @zenaholloway ) I was looking for solutions to the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and I found that I could sustainably grow grass seed in beeswax moulds.  

Scientists predict that nearly all the coral will be gone by 2050 due to global warming 😢 so my response is to grow a sustainable coral reef from grass root.  I want to imagine a future that still has coral reefs. They support 25% of all marine life, and are some of the most spectacular places on the planet (especially if you’re an underwater photographer 😉)   I’ll be exhibiting my ‘coral’ with Material Matters from 22-25 September, top floor at the iconic Bargehouse @oxotowerwharf on London’s South Bank.
